Meta AI Watch posted an update
Meta says it will hold off changing its commercial terms until it has consulted affected industry parties, and that the delay could extend beyond 20 November.
Why it mattersThat goes further than simply moving the start date to 20 November: the company now says that date may not be the finish line. The terms have raised concerns about websites’ content being used for potential AI training. PCMag reports the update, attributing it to Meta spokesperson Andy Stone. A consultation may clarify the terms, but it does not by itself settle what they will allow.
Discuss: Should Meta keep the terms on hold until it resolves publishers’ concerns, or is consultation enough to justify a later start?
