What happened

On 27 October 2026, Press Gazette reported that Mediebedriftenes Landsforening (MBL), which represents news publishers in Norway, has filed a request for a temporary injunction asking the Oslo District Court to stop Meta's updated Commercial Terms from coming into effect until the court can decide whether they are legal. Meta has delayed implementation of the terms from 30 October to 20 November 2026 following publisher backlash. The filing is a request for interim relief; no court decision on the terms is reported.

What the publishers say

MBL represents major Norwegian newspaper groups including Schibsted, Amedia, Polaris and Mentor Media, business daily Dagens Naringsliv, and broadcasters NRK and TV2. MBL said the terms would mean "every single article, every picture and every video, even those behind paywalls, can be scraped" and that there is no way to refuse except to delete the account and lose contact with Norwegian Facebook and Instagram users. MBL chair Lene Eltvik Vindfeld said publishers fear Meta "will use this power to secure rights to journalism" and that media houses must be allowed to decide for themselves and be properly paid if technology companies use their work to build AI products.

The terms dispute

Press Gazette reports that Meta deleted a specific reference to AI training from the new terms after initial backlash, but publishers say the revised wording, which allows the use of scraped content to "develop, improve, research and maintain advertising and business products", still covers Meta's generative AI services. Meta has said it will respect robots.txt blocks on AI scraping, but that assurance is not written into the terms, according to the report. The article also notes publisher groups in Denmark and Sweden have complained to their national competition authorities about the same terms. Meta's response to the Norwegian injunction request is not reported in the article.
