Despite California Gov. Gavin Newsom's silence, the liberal governor has previously partnered with Google on several initiatives in California.
Gov. Gavin Newsom is staying silent on a Democrat-led bill moving through the legislature that would create a 'link tax' requiring big tech companies, like Google, to pay media companies for linking to their pages. Last week, Google began removing news links to news pages while the legislation, dubbed the California Journalism Preservation Act , is under consideration.
However, Google said in a statement last week the proposed CJPA, in its current form, would 'up-end' its model of helping publishing sites grow their audiences without financial penalties. 'As we’ve shared when other countries have considered similar proposals, the uncapped financial exposure created by CJPA would be unworkable,' Google said in a statement. 'If enacted, CJPA in its current form would create a level of business uncertainty that no company could accept.
