[CA News Publishers Association @CNPAservices]

Statement of @CNPAservices President and CEO Charles F. Champion on Google Suppression of California News

“Google’s suppression today of California news demonstrates exactly why the California Legislature needs to pass legislation to rein in the tech colossus. News publishers play a critical role in California’s democracy, providing an essential check on public – and private – abuses, and bringing truth to power. Google is leveraging their monopoly power in internet search (90% of the market) to brazenly undermine our democracy. Google has employed these scare tactics before, in Australia and Canada. Australian legislators held firm and did not back down from Google’s threats, passing legislation to require the giant and other tech companies to compensate news publishers for tech’s use of their content—and journalism jobs surged as a result. Canada also refused to back down. The fact that one company can shut down the means by which 90% of the public find online content in order to achieve their own political and business ends show just how much policymakers need to act, and act now. Google is not above the law, and they should not be allowed to act as if they are.”
