The Chamber of Progress, a tech industry group that receives backing from companies like Google and Meta, recently issued statements and conducted a study opposing the California Journalism Preservation Act (CJPA), suggesting that the CJPA would primarily benefit conservative media organizations.

On Thursday, the California Assembly passed the CJPA, a bill that mandates companies such as Google and Meta compensate news publications for the inclusion of news links on their platforms. The Chamber of Progress, which identifies Google and Meta as corporate partners on its website, expressed concerns that this bill would disproportionately benefit “disinformation giants like Fox News and the New York Post.”
