In the USA, the bipartisan Honest Ads Act presented in October 2017 before the US Congress envisages disclosure and disclaimer rules to online political advertising. While television and radio have long been required to disclose the purchasers and content of all who purchase advertisements on their stations, internet companies have not. The Honest Ads Act would mandate that internet companies reveal the identities and content of advertisements related to elections or campaigns. Specifically, this would be done by amending a decades-old existing campaign finance law from 1971, by adding the phrase “paid internet or paid digital communication” to its list of media forms subject to the law. It would also require any website with at least 50 million monthly viewers - including Facebook, Google, and Twitter - to maintain a public list of any organisation or person who spends at least $500 in election-related advertisements. An exemption is made for “news story, commentary, or editorial” to ensure that the requirements are not levied on legitimate news reporting or opinion pieces.
