The sponsor's argument
Why Liz Krueger says this is needed
As political campaigns and technology evolve to better engage the public, so should our laws. Unlike other forms of political communi- cation, it is currently unclear in election law if campaigns need to report payments made for social media posts on their behalf. Social media played a significant role in the 2024 election cycle, with a myri- ad of candidates paying for social media posts containing supportive content on behalf of their campaigns. The public should know if a post on social media is genuine or being made in exchange for payment from a campaign, so they have the proper context to make informed choices. This bill would ensure that, if a social media post is created, the campaign would file a disclosure indicating such.
This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
