- Meta Platforms has established new commercial data agreements with major news publishers.
- The partnerships supply licensed content for Meta’s AI systems rather than using unlicensed data scraping.
- Publishers include USA Today, Fox News, People Inc., The Daily Caller, Washington Examiner, and Le Monde.
- Financial terms for these agreements have not been disclosed.
- The deals mark a shift in Meta’s approach, following the company’s 2022 decision not to renew certain publisher partnerships.
Meta Platforms has entered into several new commercial agreements with leading news publishers. The company is seeking to secure data and licensed content to train its Artificial Intelligence (AI) products, adjusting its previous stance from 2022, when it decided not to renew some content partnerships.
According to a recent report, Meta signed data-sharing deals with organizations such as USA Today, People Inc., Fox News, The Daily Caller, Washington Examiner, and Le Monde. These agreements are part of a broader trend in the technology sector to move toward formal licensing arrangements for training AI, rather than relying on unlicensed online data.
The specific financial details of the contracts were not made public. However, as described by the report, the deals are commercial in nature and are aimed at providing data for Meta’s AI products.
This strategy comes as Meta and its competitors seek to enhance AI technologies and compete with other industry leaders such as OpenAI, Google (with its Gemini 3 model), and Perplexity. Formal data agreements are becoming a norm as technology companies face scrutiny over data usage and copyright.
After the announcement of the latest deals, Meta’s stock price saw a slight pre-market increase of 0.5%. At the same time, investor sentiment remained largely bearish, even as overall online discussions about the company increased, according to recent reports.
These agreements reflect a significant change in Meta’s strategy, as it shifts toward collaborating with media organizations to responsibly source high-quality data for its artificial intelligence initiatives.
