“Does Meta think we can’t read?” Meta abandons sketchy commercial terms update.

Meta has indefinitely delayed its plans to update its commercial terms that would have required Facebook page owners to allow AI training on linked external websites. The update was met with backlash and lawsuits from businesses and regulators worldwide, including preliminary injunctions in Brazil and Norway, and a formal investigation by the UK's Competition and Markets Authority. Meta has paused the changes to 'get it right' and will continue to engage with stakeholders.
