- Publishers remain concerned about AI training on their content.
- Existing business terms stay in place during consultation.

## Summary

Meta may delay its updated business terms beyond 20 November as it consults publishers concerned that the rules could allow it to use their content to train AI. The company says it will not make policy changes without full consultation, and its existing terms will remain in force until then.

The terms were originally due to take effect on 30 October, then postponed to 20 November after publisher objections. Meta removed wording that referred to training its products on content from news sites, but legal experts said the revision did not rule out that possibility. The News/Media Alliance and lawmakers from both major US parties have also criticised the proposal.
