By
Elsa Keslassy
Summary
Netflix is lobbying French regulators to cap the mandatory investments it must make in French film and TV content. The streaming giant warns that current rules are unsustainable and that without changes, American platforms could fund nearly half of all French content production by 2030, up from about a quarter in 2024. Netflix seeks earlier access to newly released movies in exchange for adjusted investment obligations.
