Meta Delays Business Terms After Publisher AI Scraping Concerns

Meta has delayed enforcement of its new business terms by three weeks, moving the effective date from October 30 to November 20, after publishers worldwide objected that the changes could allow the company to scrape their content for AI training without compensation. The News/Media Alliance demanded a full rewrite, and European regulators have been asked to intervene. Meta says the extension provides time to clarify the terms and how its web crawlers operate.
