Bipartisan Group Introduces Bill to Make Influencers Register Under FARA
The bipartisan measure would amend the Foreign Agents Registration Act and require influencers paid by foreign governments to disclose those ties.
- On Monday, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna introduced the Foreign Propaganda Registration Act, a bipartisan measure requiring social media influencers to disclose payments from foreign governments under existing Foreign Agents Registration Act rules.
- Growing accusations within the MAGA influencer ecosystem suggest foreign governments are manipulating online discourse, with allegations targeting JD Vance and Tucker Carlson; Laura Loomer denied claims that Ukraine funded her trip.
- Democratic Reps. Jared Moskowitz and Vicente Gonzalez , alongside Republican Rep. Derrick Van Orden , joined the effort to modernize federal law for a digital landscape where influencers shape public opinion.
- Claiming she has seen contracts "in the millions," Luna intends to bypass potential opposition from House Speaker Mike Johnson using a discharge petition, which requires 218 signatures to force a vote.
- Foreign adversaries actively use disinformation to divide America and undermine foreign policy, making this legislation vital to ensure Americans know when online voices are working on behalf of foreign interests.
