加拿大要求向新聞媒體支付4%收入 Meta已拒絕 Google擬不登鏈接
加拿大總理杜魯多(Justin Trudeau)政府周五(1日)發布線上新聞法的新細節,試圖迫使科技公司就旗下社交平台轉載新聞向新聞媒體付費,但Meta(META.US)已經拒絕,表示將繼續阻止加拿大用戶在Facebook上查看新聞報道。
周五公布的線上新聞法草案稱,Meta和Alphabet(GOOG.US)需要向新聞媒體支付至少其加拿大年收入的4%,以換取提供新聞文章鏈接的回報。根據加拿大政府估計,意味Alphabet旗下的Google每年向加拿大新聞媒體支付約1.72億加元(約1.27億美元),而Meta旗下Facebook則每年需要支付6,200萬加元。
Facebook、Instagram已經禁止加拿大用戶發布新聞報道或查看新聞報道鏈接,從而切斷新聞公司的重要網絡流量來源。
Meta公共政策主管Rachel Curran表示,由於該新聞法草案的立法是基於錯誤的主張,即Meta從平台上共享的新聞內容中獲得利益,故今日擬議的草案不會影響終止在加拿大提供新聞的商業決策。
Alphabet更威脅將切斷加拿大境內Google上的新聞鏈接。
