In 2019, France's General information Press Alliance filed a complaint against Google for its refusal to operate under the European legislation on neighboring rights, designed to make digital corporations account for their use of media content online.
The French antitrust regulator gave Google two months to come up with a remuneration offer, and threatened to impose a daily fine of up to 900,000 euros if it failed to do so.
