UK competition watchdog investigates Meta's proposed terms for publisher and advertiser content

The UK Competition and Markets Authority is investigating whether Meta's proposed terms unfairly let it use publisher and advertiser content to develop services, including AI features, Reuters reports. Press Gazette says the terms appear to reach publisher websites beyond Meta's platforms, and Meta has delayed them pending consultation. The watchdog will assess whether Meta holds a dominant position in a relevant UK market and, if so, whether the terms abuse that position.
