France's Autorité de la concurrence imposed the interim measures in July after negotiations broke down, and Meta appealed in August. The orders require fair talks over payment for news, disclosure of how much money Meta's platforms make from news content, and a ban on reducing news visibility while the case continues. The court said Meta's practices could amount to an abuse of a dominant position. The underlying case is not yet decided. Google was previously fined €250m for breaking commitments it had made to French publishers. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

A Paris appeals court upheld interim measures from France's Autorité de la concurrence requiring Meta to hold fair talks with publishers over payment for news used on its apps. The orders also require Meta to disclose how much money its social networks make from news and how it uses that content, and bar it from reducing news visibility while the case proceeds. _Those tracking platform regulation and news-payment disputes can follow updates on daily.dev._ ### Has Google faced fines in France for a similar news payment dispute? Yes, France's competition authority fined Google €250 million in 2024 for breaking commitments it had made to French publishers over neighbouring rights payments. Part of that case involved Google training its Bard chatbot on news content without informing publishers. _Developers weighing AI training data and copyright risk can keep up with cases like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [France orders Meta back to talks with news publishers over content payments](https://daily.dev/posts/france-orders-meta-back-to-talks-with-news-publishers-over-content-payments-zliyxrriv) · The Next Web · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [French media ask the competition watchdog to make Google pay for its AI answers](https://daily.dev/posts/french-media-ask-the-competition-watchdog-to-make-google-pay-for-its-ai-answers-wsz78xhfb) · The Next Web · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Meta accuses Australia of breaching trade pact over news bargaining tax](https://daily.dev/posts/meta-accuses-australia-of-breaching-trade-pact-over-news-bargaining-tax-rcvmbuy7b) · The Next Web · 1 upvotes · 1 comments - [New Mexico court orders Meta to pay additional $567M in child safety case](https://daily.dev/posts/new-mexico-court-orders-meta-to-pay-additional-567m-in-child-safety-case-6usfczn4y) · TechCrunch · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#google](https://daily.dev/tags/google), [#regulation](https://daily.dev/tags/regulation) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/meta-loses-french-appeal-over-orders-to-negotiate-with-news-publishers-a7qeqsxfj) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Meta loses French appeal over orders to negotiate with news publishers","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/meta-loses-french-appeal-over-orders-to-negotiate-with-news-publishers-a7qeqsxfj","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/meta-loses-french-appeal-over-orders-to-negotiate-with-news-publishers-a7qeqsxfj"},"datePublished":"2026-10-29T12:56:52.841Z","dateModified":"2026-10-29T12:57:17.178Z","description":"A Paris appeals court rejected Meta's challenge to emergency orders requiring it to resume payment talks with French news publishers.
