U.S. Congressman David N. Cicilline has released "Cicilline Introduces Journalism Competition and Preservation Act."
Here's an excerpt:
U.S. Congressman David N. Cicilline (RI-01), the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Antitrust Subcommittee introduced the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act today to incorporate a limited safe harbor into current antitrust laws. The safe harbor established under the bill gives news publishers the ability to collectively negotiate with big tech platforms, including Facebook and Google, on factors that impact public access to trusted sources of news, such as the quality, accuracy, and attribution of news sources. . . .
The bill provides a 48-month window for newspaper companies to negotiate fair terms that would flow subscription and advertising dollars back to publishers, while protecting and preserving Americans’ right to access quality news. Parameters included in the bill ensure that these negotiations would strictly benefit Americans and news publishers at-large; not just one or a few publishers.
