On Friday, Italy’s antitrust regulator took action against Meta Platform (META.O) for allegedly abusing its position in the country in a music rights probe.
Meta, the U.S. company that owns Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram, failed to renew copyright licenses with SIAE last month.
Since March 16, its platforms have prohibited all SIAE tracks.
The watchdog ordered Meta to resume discussions with SIAE because its behavior hurt market competition.
Meta welcomed the chance to resume talks to reach an agreement, even though it disagreed with the Italian government’s cautious steps.
She said, “We welcome the opportunity given to all parties involved to return to the negotiating table to reach a shared solution.”
