The controversy centers on whether Meta's terms would let it train AI models on content from news sites using Facebook and Instagram, a concern legal experts say wasn't fully resolved even after Meta revised the language. Bipartisan criticism from lawmakers like Sen. Blackburn and Sen. Schiff suggests the dispute could escalate into broader scrutiny of how tech platforms source AI training data from publishers.
- Meta's new business terms, originally effective October 30th, may now be delayed indefinitely past November 20th.
