Source: 404 MediaAlso reported by Meta

Meta has paused a planned update to its Commercial Terms, Product Catalog Terms, Self-Serve Ad Terms and Ad Creative Generative AI Terms. The first version would have required business accounts to let Meta use content from their domains, web pages or URLs to provide, develop, improve, research, train and maintain the integrity of its products. It was due on 30 October 2026, moved to 20 November, and is now on hold with no new date, while Meta says its existing terms remain in effect.

Why it matters

Business accounts keep the existing terms while Meta consults stakeholders, and no new date is set for the update.
