What is happening?
Leading European news publishers have asked EU and UK regulators to intervene over Meta's new business terms, which are due to take effect on 30 October. Publishers fear the terms could allow Meta to use content from their websites in its AI products.
Who filed the complaint?
The complaint was filed by the European Publishers Council (EPC), which represents some of Europe's largest news organisations.
Why it matters
The dispute sits at the centre of how copyright applies to the content used to train and feed AI models. Publishers worry that accepting the terms would let their content flow into AI products without permission.
What's next
Publishers want regulators to stop Meta's new terms. The changes are expected to take effect on 30 October, and it is not yet clear how regulators will respond before that date.
