This will aid in calculating the compensation to which the AFP is entitled under the French statute on neighboring rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The European Union enacted the copyright extension in 2019, and French law adopted it in the same year, protecting even the shortest snippets of news content distributed on digital platforms. This policy covers a broad range of content types for two years after publication, including infographics, photos, videos, and article excerpts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Today, AFP announces that it has taken legal action to obtain an urgent injunction before the Judicial Court of Paris. This move is aimed at compelling Twitter, by the law, to provide all the necessary elements required for assessing the remuneration owed to AFP under the neighboring rights legislation,&#8221; the news agency stated in a press release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Musk Responds To News<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Musk responded to AFP's legal action by posting on X, &#8220;This is bizarre.
