The bill would tax Amazon, Meta and Google for the data they take from users and pump the money into news organizations in the form of tax credits.

The California state Senate on Thursday passed legislation aimed at helping the news industry by imposing a new tax on some of the biggest tech companies in the world. Senate Bill 1327 would tax Amazon, Meta and Google for the data they collect from users and pump the money from this “data extraction mitigation fee” into news organizations by giving them a tax credit for employing full-time journalists.

Glazer said his bill is meant as a complement to the other measure, adding that he and its author, Assemblymember Buffy Wicks , plan to work with the companies that could be affected by both bills 'in balancing everyone's interest.' The legislation passed 27-7 with one Republican, Sen. Scott Wilk , joining Democrats in support. As a tax increase, it required support from two-thirds of the Senate and now advances to the Assembly.
