The publishers fear the terms could allow Meta to copy content from their websites for use in AI products.\n\nThe worry is narrow and concrete. AI products depend on large amounts of text, and news sites are a ready supply of current, professionally edited writing. Publishers have little reason to welcome that copying happening by default, under terms the other side wrote.\n\nThe October 30 start date gives the request a deadline that a lawsuit would not have. It also sets the ask apart from a complaint about past behavior: the EPC is trying to head off the terms before they apply.\n\nThe EPC went to two regulators because the EU and the UK now run separate regimes, so action by one would not bind the other.","[\"meta\",\"publishers\",\"ai\",\"regulation\"]","2026-10-22T09:08:06.000Z","2026-10-22T10:28:05.001Z","2026-11-08T00:21:32.217Z","published","The draft still pads a truncated source with unsupported material: cut the 'by default, under terms the other side wrote' line, the claim that AI products rely on news sites as 'a ready supply of professionally edited writing', the 'deadline a lawsuit would not have' and 'complaint about past behavior' musings, and the unsupported claim that the EU and UK 'now run separate regimes' so action by one would not bind the other, leaving only what the source supports (EPC, Europe's biggest news publis",[24,30,35,39],{"id":25,"reviewer":26,"round":27,"reason":28,"status":29},"editor-r1","editor",1,"Cut the claims the truncated source doesn't support (that the terms grant permissions 'by default', that the burden shifts to publishers to object or walk away, that nothing suggests regulators will act), drop the awkward 'the full wording of the clauses is not laid out here' line that exposes the sourcing gap, and make the headline say 'stop' rather than 'stall' to match the source; if the full Next Web or EPC details (what the terms are, which Meta products, when the EPC wrote) can't be added,","resolved",{"id":31,"reviewer":26,"round":32,"reason":33,"status":34},"editor-r2",2,"The draft now says 'stop', and the unsupported 'by default', burden-shifting and no-regulator-action claims are gone, but it still pads a truncated source with speculation: the 'market power' inference, calling the EPC's request a 'complaint', and the 'two different answers' and 'short window' musings.
