Streaming platforms Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon's Prime Video said Monday they have filed appeals with French authorities to challenge new rules requiring them to allocate 20% of audiovisual content investment to animation, documentaries and live performances.
"These new rules suddenly double our obligation to invest in these genres, target streaming services exclusively and end up dictating our content offerings without taking audience expectations into account," Pauline Dauvin, vice president of Netflix France, said in an opinion column published Le Monde daily.
