A California lawmaker has revised her measure that would force platforms like Google and Facebook to pay news organizations for displaying their content in a renewed bid to move the bill in face of strong tech opposition.
Assemblymember Buffy Wicks (D) reworked the bill (AB 886) after an almost year-long pause to respond to tech critics, who so far have not publicly budged over their opposition. The Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a June 25 hearing on the measure, which has passed the state Assembly and needs to clear the state Senate by the end of August.
