Sen. AmyKlobuchar pulls bill to boost media outlets versus Big Tech after TedCruz amendment
The Journalism Competition and Preservation Act would allow smaller news outlets to negotiate with companies like Google and Meta without running afoul of antitrust laws. The bill was supposed to advance through the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, but Klobuchar, the bill's author, yanked it after Cruz's amendment passed.
"We are glad to see that the Senate Judiciary Committee pulled the JCPA for now, and we applaud the members that made strong statements recognizing its many problems," said Jennifer Huddleston, the policy counsel for NetChoice, a group representing many large tech platforms.
