Meta delays indefinitely its rollout of new commercial terms after publishers' concerns
META•Meta indefinitely delayed the rollout of new commercial terms after publishers and digital advertisers raised concerns that the terms would give it an unlimited right to use their content for AI services. Meta said existing terms remain in place during consultation, which could extend beyond November 20.
1. Terms delayed
Meta said it is indefinitely delaying new commercial terms after publishers and digital advertisers raised concerns. EU and UK antitrust authorities have received complaints about the terms, which Meta has rejected would grant it an unlimited right to use publishers’ content for its AI services.
2. Consultation continues
Meta said it would not make policy changes without a full consultation with industry groups and leaders. The company said consultation could extend beyond November 20, and existing terms would remain in place until then.
