Proposed bill on remuneration for online snippets in Switzerland
Proposed bill on remuneration for online snippets in Switzerland
On 20 June 2025, the Federal Council introduced a bill that proposes changes to the Swiss Copyright Act (SCA). The bill aims to address the issue of major online service providers using brief excerpts or “snippets” of journalistic publications without adequate compensation. This initiative is particularly relevant for media companies and online platforms operating in Switzerland, as it would introduce new rights and obligations.
