I’ll have to look into this proposal from the FEC before I make up my mind, but on the surface it appears reasonable.
The Federal Election Commission proposed new rules Friday that would leave almost all Internet political activity unregulated. The proposal would, however, require paid advertisements for federal candidates on the Internet to be paid for with money regulated by federal campaign law.
In a summary of the proposal, the FEC said the rules “are intended to ensure that political committees properly finance and disclose their Internet communications, without impeding individual citizens from using the Internet to speak freely regarding candidates and elections.”
We’ll see.
