Indonesian President said he had signed a regulation requiring digital platforms to pay media outlets that provide them with content, a move aimed at levelling the playing field between the media industry and big tech companies.
Digital platforms in Indonesia include Meta Platforms, Google and some local aggregators. The spirit of the regulation is to ensure a fair cooperation between media and digital platforms. Google said it will review the regulation. It has worked with news publishers and the government to build a sustainable news ecosystem in Indonesia.
