BRUSSELS, Oct ⁠23 (Reuters) - Meta Platforms will extend ⁠the implementation date of updated ‌commercial terms to November 20 from October 30 so it can address concerns ​from publishers and digital ⁠advertisers, the US ⁠tech company said on Friday.

Meta's move ⁠followed ‌complaints by publishers and digital advertisers to EU ⁠and UK antitrust authorities about its ​new ‌commercial terms, which they said ⁠would give ​the company an unlimited right to use their content for ⁠its AI services. Meta has ​rejected the claims.

"We are extending the effective date of our updated ⁠Commercial Terms and Self-Serve Ad Terms to 20 November to allow more time for us to ​explain to our ⁠partners and stakeholders what's changing and ​what's not," a ‌Meta spokesperson said in ​an email.
