巴黎上诉法院周四驳回了Meta对紧急命令的挑战,该命令要求其与法国新闻出版商就内容付费恢复谈判,路透社报道称。

Paris appeals court has rejected Meta’s challenge to emergency orders that require it to resume talks with French news publishers over payment for their content, Reuters reported on Thursday.

法国竞争管理局(Autorité de la concurrence)在7月间,于Meta与出版商之间的谈判破裂后实施了这些临时措施。Meta(Facebook和Instagram的所有者)于8月提出上诉。

France’s competition authority, the Autorité de la concurrence, imposed the interim measures in July after talks between Meta and the publishers broke down. The Facebook and Instagram owner appealed in August.

该命令规定,Meta必须就其应用中使用的新闻内容向出版商支付费用,并与其进行公平谈判。Meta还必须向出版商披露其社交网络的盈利情况以及新闻内容的使用方式。

The orders say Meta must hold fair talks with publishers about paying for news used across its apps. It must also tell publishers how much money its social networks make and how they use news content.

此外,在案件持续期间,Meta不得在其平台上降低新闻内容的可见度。

In addition, Meta must not make news content less visible on its platforms while the case continues.

据行业网站PPC Land报道,两个团体提出了投诉。APIG代表超过300家报纸,而DVP代表出版商和新闻机构收取付款。

Two groups brought the complaints, according to trade site PPC Land. APIG speaks for more than 300 newspapers, while DVP collects payments for publishers and news agencies.

法院在判决中表示,Meta的行为可能构成滥用主导地位,而法国和欧盟法律禁止此类行为。法院特别指出了Meta确定向出版商支付金额的方式。

In its ruling, the court said Meta’s practices could amount to an abuse of a dominant position, which French and EU law forbid. It pointed in particular to the way Meta works out what it pays publishers.

然而,该判决仅涵盖临时命令。竞争管理局尚未裁定Meta是否实际违法,且在案件审理期间,这些命令将继续有效。

The ruling covers only the temporary orders, however. The competition authority has not yet decided whether Meta actually broke the law, and the orders stay in place while its case goes on.

Meta表示对判决感到失望,路透社报道称。Meta补充称,将继续遵守命令并诚信进行谈判,并希望出版商也能做到同样的事。

Meta said it was disappointed with the ruling, Reuters reported. It added that it would keep following the orders and talking in good faith, and hoped publishers would do the same.

这场争议围绕所谓的“邻接权”展开。根据欧盟版权规则,邻接权允许出版商在平台重新使用其新闻作品时要求付款。

The dispute turns on so-called neighbouring rights. Under EU copyright rules, these let publishers ask for payment when platforms reuse their journalism.

当竞争管理局在7月发布命令时,它称Meta的付款计算方法可能构成滥用其市场力量的行为。如果最终裁决确认这一点,Meta可能面临罚款。

When the authority issued the orders in July, it called Meta’s method of calculating payments a probable abuse of its market power. If a final ruling confirms that, Meta could face fines.

谷歌已在类似纠纷中付出了高昂代价。2024年,该机构因谷歌违背对法国出版商作出的承诺,对其处以2.5亿欧元罚款。该案部分内容涉及谷歌在未告知出版商的情况下,利用新闻内容训练其Bard聊天机器人。

Google has already paid a high price in a similar dispute. In 2024, the authority fined Google €250m for breaking commitments it had made to French publishers. Part of that case concerned Google training its Bard chatbot on news content without telling publishers.

Meta在欧洲其他地方也面临压力,出版商已要求监管机构叫停其AI条款。

Meta also faces pressure elsewhere in Europe, where publishers have asked regulators to stop its AI terms.
