Policy change confirmed by Meta

The technology company has decided against implementing terms that would mandate AI access. This decision follows reports that the previous approach was considered commercially problematic. Owners of Facebook pages will retain control over how their material is used.

Impact on content creators

Page administrators can now choose whether to allow their posts for machine learning purposes. The update removes the obligation to grant such permissions automatically. Creators maintain full authority regarding the commercial terms attached to their digital assets.
