- Nigeria investigates Big Tech over use of local news content
Nigeria’s competition watchdog is investigating Big Tech firms for alleged anti-competition practices and unauthorized use of local news content to train AI models. The probe follows complaints from Nigerian news groups about content extraction by Alphabet, Meta, and X, and a $220 million fine imposed on Meta in 2024 over data privacy and market abuse. Similar cases, such as the New York Times and Canadian publications suing OpenAI, highlight global concerns.
