The Indian government is planning to make Big Tech companies such as Meta, Google, Apple, and Microsoft, among others, pay Indian publishers – newspaper and digital platforms – for using their content on their respective platforms.
If implemented, the new law will force Big Tech companies to pay digital news publishers a share of the revenue earned via using their original content. Such a revenue-sharing model between internet companies and news publishers will be built along the ones prevalent in Australia and parts of European Union.
