Elon Musk's Twitter, X, is facing a lawsuit from French news organization Agence France-Presse (AFP) for alleged copyright violations. The AFP is seeking an immediate injunction to force X to disclose details about the use of their content, in order to calculate compensation under French law. The European Union's copyright extension, adopted by France in 2019, protects all types of news content disseminated on digital platforms. Musk has responded to the lawsuit, questioning why X should pay for traffic to AFP's site where they make advertising revenue.
