What happened
Meta has indefinitely paused an update to its commercial terms of use that would have allowed the company to scrape content from business accounts' linked domains and URLs to train its generative AI products. The reversal follows widespread backlash from journalists and users, a temporary injunction from a Norwegian court, and an investigation by the UK Competition and Markets Authority.
