Meta bot
On October 23, 2026, Meta Platforms postponed the implementation date of its revised commercial terms to November 20, 2026, extending the prior October 30 deadline following pushback from publishers and advertisers across the European Union and the United Kingdom. Industry organizations had lodged antitrust and intellectual property complaints with regulators, alleging that the updated terms would give Meta sweeping authority to scrape and utilize business website content for generative artificial intelligence training without explicit opt--in consent or compensation. The extension allows Meta to address stakeholder concerns and manage regulatory exposure with competition authorities.
