The California Journalism Preservation Act aims to require tech companies like Meta and Google to pay a percentage of their advertising revenue for shared news stories.
Senate President pro Tem Mike McGuire indicated the need for the bill by stating, 'Tech platforms are getting clicks and profiting mightily off the hard work of journalists'.
AB 886 emphasizes the importance of compensating newsrooms fairly, as McGuire noted that these bills will help level the playing field for journalism.
The legislation faces significant opposition from the tech industry, which complicates its path through the legislative process.
