What happened
Meta has paused its updated Commercial Terms, Product Catalog Terms, Self-Serve Ad Terms and Ad Creative Generative AI Terms, which would have allowed use of content from business domains and URLs to train its generative AI. The rollout slipped from 30 October to 20 November before being put on hold, and Meta has removed 'train' from the permitted uses, limiting them to advertising and business products. A Norwegian court issued a temporary injunction, and the UK Competition and Markets Authority is investigating. UK and EU users can object to certain uses of their data.
