Norwegian Media Take Legal Action to Block Meta's New Content Usage Terms
Norway's main media organisations have taken legal action to block Meta from enforcing new user terms set to take effect on November 20. The terms would allow Meta to use journalistic content, including paywalled articles, to develop artificial intelligence products. Media groups argue this threatens their rights and distorts competition, as Meta benefits from their investments without consent. The plaintiffs, including NRK and several media groups, have requested a provisional injunction from the Oslo district court. Meta has delayed implementing the terms to provide more explanation to partners.
