Italy’s competition watchdog has taken interim measures against Facebook and Instagram parent, Meta, over its alleged abuse of position in the country in relation to music rights. The move is part of an investigation by the Italian Competition Authority or AGCM into Meta’s conduct in the market. AGCM believes that Meta may have unfairly disrupted negotiations for licensing the use of musical rights on its platforms, “abusing SIAE’s economic dependence.”
