Meta delays enforcement of business terms to Nov. 20 after publisher pushback over AI scraping
Meta has pushed the enforcement date for its updated business terms from October 30 to November 20 after global publishers raised concerns the terms could permit scraping news sites for AI training. Meta says the delay will allow it to better explain how it uses web crawlers, the role of robots.txt, and what is and isn’t changing, after groups including the News/Media Alliance and EU/UK publishers pushed back.
