AFP news agency of France has filed a copyright case against Elon Musk's social-media platform X, previously known as Twitter, in an effort to make X pay for news it shares.
AFP is seeking data from X to estimate fair compensation and is employing legal means to ensure the fair distribution of the value generated by the sharing of news content.
This copyright case is part of a global battle to get tech firms like X, Facebook, and Google to pay for news on their platforms. Other big tech firms have also pushed back against paying for news in regions such as Canada and Australia.
