The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has taken a bold step by filing a complaint with the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority against Apple and Google. The corporation is seeking to require these tech giants to prominently credit news sources, specifically the BBC.
According to reports, the BBC argues that by minimizing or omitting attribution for the stories they feature, Apple News and Google News undermine the perceived value of the BBC’s content. This perceived value is crucial for the corporation as it relies heavily on a licence fee paid by British households for its funding.
The BBC has reportedly pointed out instances where their work was used without proper accreditation, stating that this lack of transparency erodes the trust between audiences and the broadcaster. It would seem that the corporation is pushing back against what they believe to be unfair practices by these tech giants.
It’s worth noting that Apple recently paused its AI news summaries following complaints from publishers including the BBC regarding inaccuracies in their reporting.
