The European Court of Justice has upheld the right of media outlets to receive equitable compensation for content used by social media platforms, rejecting a legal challenge by Meta.
The ruling addressed a preliminary question filed following Meta's appeal in Italy, establishing a precedent for how platforms must handle news publisher content across the EU.
The decision strengthens the position of European media companies in negotiations with major tech platforms over content licensing and compensation. The outcome aligns with the EU's broader push to regulate digital market power and protect news publishers' economic interests.
