Meta's new terms make advertisers liable for AI ad edits
Meta is updating its Commercial Terms effective October 30, 2026, introducing a new 'AI Features' section that makes advertisers solely responsible for AI-generated ad content, even if features are enabled automatically. Advertisers like Bookshop.org and agencies report unwanted AI modifications, such as added sitelinks and images, raising brand safety risks. Additionally, Meta faces regulatory scrutiny over AI content scraping. In other industry news, Axel Springer shows interest in a European TikTok spinoff, M6 launches a self-serve ad platform, Omnicom reports Q3 growth and plans acquisitions, Netflix cuts its ad forecast, The Trade Desk partners with Netflix, and ProSieben sells glomex.
