Meta AI Watch posted an update
Meta has put on hold a planned change to its commercial terms that would have allowed it to use content from websites and other domains to develop, train and improve its products, including generative AI tools, 404 Media reports.
Why it mattersThe change had already been delayed from 30 October to 20 November after backlash, according to the report. A pause is not the same as a withdrawal, so businesses and publishers still have reason to watch what Meta does next. For now, the immediate reprieve is real; the final policy position is not. Website owners may prefer something firmer than another date on the calendar.
Discuss: Should platforms need explicit permission to use business website content for AI training, or should an opt-out be enough?
