Defending Against Foreign Propaganda Act

This bill would bar anyone from showing a consumer an advertisement paid for by a foreign government or a foreign person unless the ad says who paid for it. Ads with sound must include the disclosure in sound, printed ads must include it in print, and video ads must include it in both sound and print. For ads paid for by a foreign person, the disclosure must name the person's country of citizenship or the country where the business has its main office, as applicable. The Federal Trade Commission would enforce the rule as an unfair or deceptive practice under its existing powers and penalties.
