Extra: Rep. Anna Paulina Luna Takes On Foreign Political Influence
As social media influencers increasingly displace traditional media as primary sources for political commentary, concerns are growing over covert foreign propaganda and dark money fueling online discourse. In response, bipartisan momentum is building behind new legislation aimed at closing foreign disclosure loopholes and requiring online personalities to disclose financial ties to foreign governments.
Jessica Rosenthal spoke with Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) about her bipartisan Foreign Propaganda Disclosure Act. They discussed how foreign entities and bot networks leverage paid influencers to manipulate digital algorithms and steer American political debates, as well as the enforcement mechanisms needed to hold violators accountable through the Department of Justice.
Rep. Luna shares her perspective on updating the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) for the digital age, addressing First Amendment concerns, and why she believes transparency is critical to protecting national security and American voters.
