The Media Minister says there is a risk digital platforms will retaliate if they're forced to pay to use New Zealand news content.
Paul Goldsmith has confirmed the Government is pursuing an amended version of Labour's Fair Digital News Bargaining Bill.
It aims to ensure internet giants like Facebook and Google pay local media companies for using their work.
Goldsmith says some platforms have been clear they're not keen on the bill.
