Unlike other bills aimed at reining in big tech, some progressive groups oppose this measure on the grounds that it favors big broadcasters.

The bill passed the committee by a vote of 15 to 7, according to a congressional aide. It must now go to the Senate for their approval. A similar bill is before the U.S. House of Representatives.

The bill, led by Democrat Amy Klobuchar, attracted some Republican support, with Senators John Kennedy and Lindsey Graham sponsoring it. Other Democrats, like Senator Alex Padilla, expressed reservations about it. On Thursday Klobuchar won support for an amendment that specified that prices for use of content was the issue.
