Meta Delays Update Amid Concern About Scraping Websites for AI Training

Meta has delayed an update to its ads and business terms that would have taken effect November 20, after criticism over language concerning scraping websites for AI training, company spokesman Andy Stone said. "We're committed to getting this right, and...we expect this consultation could extend beyond November 20, in which case we'd delay implementation," Stone tweeted. The delay means Meta's terms will not change on the original November 20 date while it consults with the industry.
