The United Kingdom opens an investigation into Meta's new trading conditions for the use of media content, which could be "unfair"

The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has launched an investigation into Meta's new commercial terms, which may allow the company to use media content for its own products without consent. The CMA is assessing whether Meta holds a dominant market position and if these terms represent an unfair business practice. Meta has stated that it has no intention of changing its terms without consulting publishers. The implementation of these terms has been postponed to November 20, following discussions with the CMA. Concerns have been raised by various media organizations about the potential misuse of their content, and a Norwegian court has temporarily blocked Meta from enforcing similar terms in Norway.
