Indonesia has introduced a new regulation that mandates digital platforms like Meta (Facebook) and Alphabet (Google), to compensate Indonesian news outlets for using their content, as reported by Reuters. This move aims to ensure fair compensation for local media companies providing content to these tech giants. However, Meta has responded by stating that the regulation does not apply to news content that publishers post voluntarily on its platforms.
