Meta Threatens to Remove News Content from California Platform Amid Journalism Preservation Bill Debate
Meta, the parent company of Facebook, is threatening to remove news content from its platform in California if the state government passes a bill that requires tech companies to pay publishers.
The proposed California Journalism Preservation Act aims to support local news providers, but Meta argues that the payment structure would primarily benefit big media companies.
Meta has previously threatened to remove news content in other countries, including Canada and Australia, over similar legislation.
