Meta Loses Appeal Against French Interim Measures on Media Content Rights
Meta Platforms lost its appeals against interim measures imposed by French regulators concerning payments to media organisations for digital use of their content. The Paris Court of Appeals upheld requirements for Meta to resume negotiations, share revenue information, and maintain content display standards. The court noted Meta's payment determination methods may constitute an abuse of dominant position under European and French competition law. Meta expressed disappointment but committed to comply and negotiate in good faith.
