ANSA - EU Court says fair compensation for publishers from platforms is legitimate

AGCOM decision challenged by Meta ruled compatible with European law

European Union member States may recognize newspaper publishers' rights to fair remuneration from online platforms that use their content, the European Court of Justice ruled Tuesday in a case regarding an appeal by Meta against Italian media watchdog AGCOM.
    The tech giant had challenged before the Lazio Regional Administrative Court (TAR) a decision by the Italian authority establishing the criteria for defining the right to fair remuneration for publishers for the online use of their publications, as well as a regime aimed at ensuring such remuneration.
    The judges, however, found it compatible with EU law.
