UK opens a competition case on Meta's business terms

On Oct. 30, 2026 the UK Competition and Markets Authority opened a Chapter II Competition Act investigation into whether Meta's commercial terms for businesses abuse a dominant position. The CMA named Meta Platforms, Facebook UK and Facebook Ireland, said the terms may impose unfair trading conditions, and said no infringement finding has been made. Reuters reported that a Meta spokesperson said there were no grounds for an investigation and that Meta had committed not to change the terms without consulting publishers.
