I wonder if it would work to send Meta's legal department a notice that they are not permitted to access your website.
Would that make subsequent accesses be violations of the U.S.'s Computer Fraud and Abuse Act?

Just because you manufacture chemicals doesn’t mean you can legally dump your toxic waste anywhere you want (well shouldn’t be allowed to at least).
You also shouldn’t be able to set your crawlers causing sites to fail.
For instance, if you own a home you may have an easement on part of your property that grants other cars from your neighborhood access to pass through it rather than going the long way around.
If Amazon were to build a warehouse on one side of the neighborhood, however, it's not obvious that they would be equally legally justified to send their whole fleet back and forth across it every day, even though their intent is certainly not to cause you any discomfort at all.
If a bot sends so many requests that a site completely collapses, the owner is liable, even though it was a scraping bot and not a denial of service bot.
Send all of your pages through an adversarial LLM to pollute and twist the meaning of the underlying data.
Depends how much money you are prepared to spend.
