Meta reports to 20 November its new commercial terms
The official Meta Commercial Terms page now indicates an entry into force on 20 November 2026, instead of the 30 October announced previously. The same report applies to the Self-Serve Ad Terms. Meta explained that it would like to have more time to clarify to partners what changes and clarify the operation of its exploration robots. The company claims that content owners can always express their preferences with robots.txt. However, the deferral does not mean that the clauses have been withdrawn or that robots.txt alone constitutes a contractual or legal guarantee. Criticism of publishers and advertisers in the European Union, the United Kingdom and the United States remains ongoing.
