- Meta may delay the 20 November rollout again.
- Existing terms stay in place during consultation.

## Summary

The Copyright Alliance has condemned Meta’s proposed business terms, saying they could let the company use content from commercial accounts for its products, advertising and AI systems without an opt-out. Meta says it will consult industry groups and may delay the changes, which were due to take effect on 20 November.

The Alliance includes the RIAA, the NMPA and Universal Music Group, and warns the terms could affect businesses and creators across many industries. It says the revised terms still permit broad scraping, including potentially bypassing website instructions such as robots.txt. Meta’s existing terms will remain in place during consultation; the proposed rollout has already been postponed once, from 30 October to 20 November.
