Meta Delays Updated Business Terms

Meta has postponed the implementation of its updated commercial and self-serve ad terms from October 30 to November 20. The company stated the extension provides additional time to clarify how its web crawlers function and to address concerns from partners and stakeholders regarding data collection practices.

The original update faced criticism from publishers and trade groups over language allowing Meta to scrape content from websites associated with business accounts. The new effective date is November 20.
