What's happening
The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has opened an investigation into the commercial terms Meta sets for businesses. The regulator is looking at whether the company is abusing a dominant position.
Publisher content at the centre
The CMA will assess whether Meta imposes exploitative terms on publishers and advertisers. Those terms could allow Meta to use their content, including for its AI features.
Why it matters
How platforms use publisher content for AI training and products sits at the heart of copyright and competition debates. The CMA's review could set a precedent for how one-sided content deals by large platforms can be.
The probe is at an early stage; the regulator has not yet laid out its next steps or timeline.
