- California may fine content creators who don't disclose they were paid to post about politics
California is considering fining content creators who fail to disclose that they were paid to post political content. The concern arises because campaigns frequently hire influencers, sometimes with smaller followings, to target voters in ways that may lack transparency. Examples include instances in 2022 and 2023 where payments for content endorsing or criticizing candidates were not clearly disclosed.
