Norwegian media including NRK and NTB sue Meta in Oslo over AI-training terms

What happened

On October 28, 2026, Norwegian media organizations including public broadcaster NRK and the Norwegian News Agency (NTB) filed a lawsuit against Meta in an Oslo court, seeking to block Meta from introducing new terms of service, according to Agence France-Presse reporting carried by SANA.

What the plaintiffs argue

The plaintiffs argue the proposed terms would give Meta sweeping powers to collect, index and use news content to develop AI tools and advertising systems without adequate authorization. The filing is part of a wider set of European disputes over Meta's use of news content: Spanish media groups are seeking damages over personal-data use in advertising, and France has urged Meta to resume talks with publishers over content compensation.

Status

No ruling has been reported; the filing's claims are allegations, and Meta's response to the Oslo filing was not reported in the source. This item covers the Norwegian filing specifically; Meta's separate U.S. author and publisher suits are covered elsewhere.
