Bill Summary
A BILL To provide a temporary safe harbor for publishers of online content to collectively negotiate with dominant online platforms regarding the terms on which content may be distributed.
AI Summary
This bill, the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act of 2021, aims to provide a temporary safe harbor for news content creators (such as print, broadcast, and digital news organizations) to collectively negotiate with dominant online platforms (referred to as "online content distributors") regarding the terms on which their content may be distributed. The bill defines key terms like "antitrust laws" and "news content creator," and outlines the specific conditions under which news content creators can engage in such negotiations without being held liable under antitrust laws. The bill is intended to address the power imbalance between news publishers and large online platforms that control the distribution of news content.
