FB to pay French publishers for reusing their content

As pressure mounts on social media platforms to pay news publishers for using their content, Facebook has reached a multi-year pact to pay French publishers for resharing their content on its platforms.

The social network will also launch Facebook News in France in January, to create a dedicated destination for reputable news content.

Google has already reached a deal with news publishers in France at the beginning of this year.

In a statement, the company said that it is announcing a partnership with ‘Alliance’ in France.

“After constructive negotiations, this solution will further our investment in the news industry, and strengthen the news experience for both people and publishers on Facebook,” the social network said on Thursday.
