Meta pauses AI training terms update after backlash, Norwegian court injunction and UK probe
404 Media · rss · 2026-11-06
Meta has paused its planned commercial terms update that would have required business accounts to let Meta use their web content to train generative AI. Originally set for October 30, delayed to November 20, the change is now fully on hold. Pressure came from journalists and users, a Norwegian court injunction won with support from 180 media companies, and a UK Competition and Markets Authority investigation. Meta had already dropped the word 'train' from allowed uses; EU/UK users can still object to AI training on their data.
