Supporters of a bill that would give news orgs greater leverage against giant tech companies were forced to temporarily withdraw the bill after an amendment by Ted Cruz was approved 11-10 along partisan lines and inserted in the measure.
Supporters of a bill meant to give news organizations greater leverage against the giant tech companies were forced to temporarily withdraw the measure Thursday, raising new doubts about one of Congress’ prime efforts to check Silicon Valley’s power.
“What is preeminent to me is whether this bill is going to increase or decrease censorship,” Cruz said, nodding to the long-held notion among conservatives that tech platforms unfairly limit the reach of right-wing content online. “The agreement we had was blown up,” she said, before withdrawing the bill from consideration. The slim margin highlights the difficulty Democrats have with passing legislation in a 50-50 Senate.
Klobuchar warned that Cruz’s amendment would give online platforms a “get out of jail free card” by presenting an “obvious opportunity for gamesmanship” in negotiations with news publishers. Once content moderation issues were introduced in the discussions, she said, news companies would have to walk away because they could no longer rely on the antitrust exemption for collective bargaining.
