Meta Delays Updated Commercial Terms to November 20 Following Publisher and Advertiser Complaints

Meta Platforms has postponed the rollout of its updated Commercial Terms and Self-Serve Ad Terms from October 30 to November 20. The decision follows formal complaints filed by publishers and digital advertisers with European Union and UK antitrust regulators over AI content rights. Opponents argued the terms would permit Meta to use proprietary content for training artificial intelligence models, a claim Meta rejected while stating the extension allows time to address stakeholder concerns. The move follows Meta's earlier removal of language that had sparked scraping and AI training concerns.
