UK CMA investigates Meta terms on publishers’ website content

Britain’s competition authority opened an investigation into Meta’s commercial terms on 30 October 2026. It will examine whether they impose unfair conditions on publishers and advertisers allowing website content reuse, including for AI features.

The CMA must establish whether Meta holds a dominant position in a relevant market and whether the terms abuse it. Opening the inquiry therefore does not establish an infringement.

Rollout, initially set for 30 October and then delayed to 20 November, was paused on 28 October during consultations. Meta says it has committed to consulting publishers before changes. A separate request for information on Meta One subscriptions is outside this investigation.
