Foreign Propaganda Disclosure Act

This bill, known as the Foreign Propaganda Disclosure Act , proposes significant amendments to the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) to address foreign influence on digital platforms. Its core purpose is to explicitly include social media influencers within the scope of FARA, thereby requiring them to register if they act as agents of foreign principals. The legislation amends Section 1 of FARA by inserting "a social media influencer or" into the definition of an "agent of a foreign principal." It further defines a "social media influencer" as any person who maintains a monetized social media account on any social media platform. This expansion aims to enhance transparency and disclosure regarding foreign propaganda and influence operations conducted through social media.
