Meta says it will probably delay its new business terms again over fears it could train AI on publishers' content

The Verge reports Meta says it may push its new ads and business terms past 20 November after backlash from publishers about AI training. The terms were due on 30 October, were moved to 20 November on 23 October, and first appeared to let Meta train its AI on news sites that use Facebook and Instagram. Meta later removed the wording about training, but legal experts told Nieman Lab it may not rule it out. Meta says its existing terms stay in place until then.

• If you advertise or post for a business on Facebook or Instagram, read the notice in your Business Manager when it arrives and note the date it applies from.
• If you publish original articles, photos or video, ask whoever manages your Meta account what the updated terms say about use for AI before you accept.
