New Zealand said it would seek to require online platforms like Alphabet’s Google and Facebook owner Meta Platforms to pay news publishers for content
On Monday, Meta’s regional policy director, Mia Garlick, said New Zealand’s proposal misunderstands the relationship between Facebook and news, noting that publishers are the ones who control whether and how their content appears on the platform. Ms. Garlick said it also fails to recognize current commercial deals the company has in New Zealand.
Still, tech giants have said they are committed to local news and have reached commercial deals with publishers, in some cases before the threat of legislation was introduced. In New Zealand, for example, Facebook has commercial agreements with three publishers focusing on innovation, which the company has said helps to support the long-term sustainability of journalism there.
In a report last week, Australian officials said their law, passed early last year, was a success, pointing out that more than 30 commercial agreements between digital platforms and a cross-section of Australian news businesses have been struck. Although those agreements were made voluntarily, the report said those agreements were unlikely to have been made without the law, suggesting that the threat of activating its most onerous provisions had an impact.
