Meta threatens to yank news content from California over payments bill

  • Meta Platforms has said it will remove news content in California if the state government passes legislation requiring tech companies to pay publishers.
  • The proposed California Journalism Preservation Act would require online platforms to pay a "journalism usage fee" to news providers whose work appears on their services to reverse the decline of the local news sector.
  • Meta spokesman Andy Stone called the payment structure a "slush fund" and said the bill would primarily benefit big out-of-state media companies rather than California publishers.
