Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill amends the Foreign Agents Registration Act to require social media influencers to register with the government if they are being paid or directed by foreign entities to promote content. Currently, the law applies to traditional agents working on behalf of foreign governments or political interests, but the legislation expands these requirements to include anyone with a monetized social media account who receives foreign backing. The bill defines a social media influencer as any person with a monetized account on any social media platform and aligns this definition with existing federal law on social media platforms. The measure affects content creators, influencers, and social media companies, as it would require disclosure of foreign funding or direction in their online activities. No specific funding amounts or implementation timelines are included in the legislative text provided.
