Reports say ten media groups went to court to argue that the new terms from Meta will give them the right to collect their articles, photos and videos, including those behind a paywall, alleging that the content could be used to develop artificial intelligence products, among other things.

 

They said Meta’s new terms of use would apply to all professional account holders and would leave them no option to oppose them other than to delete their accounts.

 

Therefore, the Norwegian court prohibited Meta from making the contested change until there has been a definitive ruling on its legality.
