Blocking Foreign-Funded Political Ads: Protecting Elections
New rules aim to prevent foreign entities from funding political advertisements in the U.S. TV and radio stations, along with online platforms, will need to ensure ads are not paid for by foreign nationals. This measure seeks to enhance election security and protect against external influence.
Key points
Radio and TV stations, and online platforms must make reasonable efforts to ensure political ads are not purchased by foreign nationals.
For credit card payments, CVV disclosure is required, and the billing address must be in the U.S. (or voter registration address for U.S. citizens abroad).
Rules apply to political ads for candidates, federal elections, national issues, and state/local ballot initiatives.
Large online platforms (over 50 million monthly users) selling political ads are covered by these regulations.
