What happened
Meta has paused its update to the Meta Commercial Terms, Product Catalog Terms, Self-Serve Ad Terms and Ad Creative Generative AI Terms, which would have let it use content from business domains and web pages to train its generative AI. The change was originally due on 30 October, then moved to 20 November, and is now on hold; the existing terms remain in effect. A Norwegian court granted a temporary injunction following a case backed by 180 Norwegian media companies, and the UK Competition and Markets Authority is investigating.
