Meta indefinitely pauses scraping Commercial Terms after injunctions in Brazil and Norway
On 05/11/2026 Meta took down the preview of the new Commercial Terms / Product Catalog / Self-Serve Ad / Ad Creative Generative AI Terms and posted on the Business Help Center that the updates are paused and will not take effect on 20/11/2026; current terms remain in force while it consults stakeholders. Spokesperson to Nieman Lab: “We’re pausing the changes as we continue to engage with stakeholders…”. Injunctions came first: Oslo (28/10) and São Paulo 44th Civil Court (03/11), at the request of ANJ/ANER/ABERT, suspending unauthorized collection/use of members’ content (incl. AI training) with a daily fine of R$1M (cap R$100M). The UK CMA opened a formal investigation.
