SA publishers will challenge Google and Facebook (now Meta) at the Competition Commission, seeking compensation for use of their journalism by the two US technology giants.

Industry association Publisher Support Services said major SA media owners had joined forces to deliver the “the opening gambit in challenging Google and Meta for compensation for content used on these platforms”.

Karjieker noted successes achieved by similar efforts in other parts of the world, most notably Australia and Europe, that forced the platforms to the negotiating table to agree on fair compensation to publishers for their content.
