If there was ever a piece of no-brainer legislation that should be passed by Congress, it is the Honest Ads Act put forward last week by US senators Amy Klobuchar, Mark Warner and John McCain. This bipartisan group is asking for online political advertising to be subject to the same rules of disclosure as ads on television, print, and radio. The idea is to make sure that foreign nations like Russia cannot use platforms such as Facebook, Google or Twitter to influence US elections, as they did in 2016.
如果說美國歷史上有一部無需國會動腦就應(yīng)該通過的立法,那就是上周美國參議員埃米?克羅布徹(Amy Klobuchar)、馬克?華納(Mark Warner)和約翰?麥凱恩(John McCain)提出的《誠實廣告法案》(Honest Ads Act)。這個兩黨小組要求在線政治廣告遵循與電視、印刷、廣播廣告同樣的信息披露規(guī)則。其出發(fā)點是確保俄羅斯等外國無法像在2016年那樣利用Facebook、谷歌(Google)或Twitter等平臺影響美國大選。
