Meta Delays New Ad Terms Amid Antitrust Complaints

Meta Platforms delayed the implementation of its updated Commercial Terms and Self-Serve Ad Terms, moving the effective date from October 30 to November 20. The postponement follows complaints filed by digital advertisers and publishers with antitrust authorities in the European Union and the United Kingdom.

Critics argue the new terms would grant the company an unlimited right to use their content to train AI services. Meta has rejected these claims, stating the extension is intended to allow more time to explain the changes to partners and stakeholders.
