Meta, Google, TikTok Oppose Indonesia's AI Copyright Proposal

Meta, Google and TikTok have opposed proposed revisions to Indonesia’s copyright law that would require platforms to compensate publishers for displaying news and establish rules for AI, including the use of copyrighted works to train models. At a parliamentary hearing, Google and Meta argued that payments could limit access to news and reduce publishers’ readership, advertising and subscription opportunities; TikTok objected to applying AI disclosure rules when AI only assists in creating content and called for platforms to retain safe-harbor protections. Draft provisions also contemplate licensing or fair-use requirements for AI training, limits on imitating creators’ styles and rules for AI-generated content, measures intended to give creators greater control over their work.
