The news agency Agence France-Presse accused Twitter of refusing to “enter into discussions” on a remuneration structure for sharing AFP’s content.
it filed the suit before the Judicial Court of Paris in an attempt to compel Twitter “to provide all the necessary elements required for assessing the remuneration owed” to the publisher under French law.
France adopted the EU copyright directive known as “neighboring rights” into law in 2019, enforcing online platforms like Google, Facebook and Twitter to negotiate a licensing deal with news publishers for displaying their content on their platforms. AFP said its lawsuit is in response to Twitter’s “clear refusal…to enter into discussions regarding the implementation of neighboring rights for the press.”
The news agency said it would “continue to employ the appropriate legal means” with online platforms to ensure “fair distribution” of value generated from sharing news content.
