Major French newspapers including Le Figaro, Le Monde, and Le Parisien are suing the social media platform X, owned by Elon Musk, for violating European copyright laws known as ‘neighboring rights.’ The papers claim X is utilizing their content without compensation. This lawsuit follows a judicial order requiring X to provide commercial data to assess its earnings from the articles, which the platform has reportedly ignored. Established in 2019, neighboring rights are intended to ensure that news organizations are paid for the use of their content by digital platforms.
