X, owned by billionaire tycoon Elon Musk, faces accusations from AFP of a "clear refusal" to participate in discussions on neighboring rights.AFP news agency has launched a copyright case in France against social media giant Twitter, recently rebranded X, as part of a global struggle to get tech firms to pay for news.
Their cause was boosted by a 2019 EU law that allowed for payments for sharing content under a regime called"neighbouring rights", and Google and Facebook eventually agreed to pay some French media outlets. AFP said in a statement it had lodged a case with a judge in Paris to force the platform to hand over data that would allow the French news agency to estimate a fair level of compensation.
"The Agency will continue to employ the appropriate legal means with each relevant platform to ensure the fair distribution of the value generated by the sharing of news content."Although media groups in France have won some victories, big tech firms have pushed back hard in other regions.
