These contracts extend for several years, with publishers receiving financial compensation for the use of their content. Financial details have not been disclosed, but the agreements stipulate that chat robots must attach links to articles when responding to inquiries, which may contribute to a slight increase in website visits.
The list of partners includes “le monde” and “CNN”. The agreements also include conservative media platforms such as “Fox News,” “The Daily Caller,” and “Washington Examiner,” with a focus on providing relevant links to reduce the spread of misinformation about controversial issues.
“Meta” clarified that this initiative is just the beginning and that it intends to add more news partners in the future to expand coverage. This step is interesting, especially after the company stopped paying for access to news content in the United States since 2022, and the cancellation of the Facebook news tab in 2024.
