Meta postpones the launch of the new terms indefinitely

It was last week that the media houses went up in arms over Meta's new user agreement, which, according to experts, gives Meta the right to "scrape" information from company sites to train its AI. In Sweden, organizations such as Tidningsutgivarna (TU) have written letters to the authorities demanding action. In Norway, they have gone the farthest and taken Meta to court, on Wednesday they also became the first country where the introduction was stopped by legal means.

Late on Wednesday afternoon, the tech giant announced that the launch was postponed indefinitely, reports Reuters.

Meta has dismissed the information that they could use the media companies' content in the wrong way.

"We have heard publishers' views on our proposed update to the advertising and business terms. We care deeply about our partners and do not plan to make policy changes without full consultation with industry groups and leaders," Meta said in a statement.
