Meta loses appeals against interim measures imposed by French regulators
The court said Meta’s methods for calculating payments to publishers may amount to abuse of a dominant position under French and European competition law.
- On Thursday, the Paris Court of Appeals rejected Meta's appeal against interim measures imposed by French regulators over media organizations' publishing rights, upholding the earlier court decision.
- French regulators issued these interim measures in July, requiring Meta to negotiate 'neighboring rights' payments with publishers, provide platform revenue data, and stop degrading press content display.
- The Court concluded that Meta's methods for determining 'neighboring rights' payments to press publishers may constitute an abuse of a dominant position under European and French competition law.
- A Meta spokesperson said the company was disappointed by the ruling but will comply with interim measures, negotiate in good faith, and hopes publishers will do the same.
- This ruling serves as a temporary enforcement tool while regulators await a final decision on the merits regarding Meta's valuation models for press content compensation.
