MetaNovember 5, 2026Announced, on hold, no new date

Meta puts its AI clause for advertisers on hold

Planned for October 30, then November 20, this clause is now on hold with no new date. Meta's current terms still apply.

Meta's AI clause

  1. planned for October 30
  2. then November 20
  3. paused, no new date

What happened, in detail

Before: You're responsible for the AI tools you choose

Now: You'd be responsible for everything its AI makes

Meta was preparing new terms for advertisers. The draft said its AI features can make mistakes, and that the advertiser alone carries the risk for those features and whatever they produce. Until now, its AI terms covered the tools an advertiser chooses to use.

Set for October 30, then November 20, the update won't take effect on that date: Meta has paused it and is still consulting, with no new date. The current terms still apply. The same update would also have let Meta collect content from business websites.

That's the main dispute: the UK's competition regulator opened an investigation on October 30, and courts in Norway and Brazil temporarily blocked the terms.

Where it comes from

What it changes for you

Check now which Advantage+ enhancements, Meta's automatic edits, are turned on for your ads. Some may be on even if you never chose them.

What to do, and when

  1. This week

    Open a live ad and look at which Advantage+ enhancements are checked, in the Ad creative section. Note the ones you didn't choose.

  2. This month

    Uncheck anything you don't want changed. Each enhancement can be turned off on its own.

  3. Before your next campaign

    Review your ads as they'll actually run, because they can differ from your source files. Then check Meta's help page, since a new date could land at any time.
