JAKARTA (Reuters) – Facebook parent Meta Platforms Inc on Thursday said it understood it was not required to pay for content by news publishers posted voluntarily by users in Indonesia, after its government issued a regulation requiring digital platforms to “split profits” with media firms.
Meta’s statement follows Indonesia’s president signing the regulation requiring digital platforms to pay media outlets that provide them with content, a move aimed at levelling the playing field between big tech companies and the media industry.
