February 23, 2021

This is the second episode in a series of podcasts on H.R. 1, a bill that has been introduced in Congress that would affect campaign finance, lobbying, ethics, and voting laws. In this episode, Election Law Special Counsel Eric Wang and TMT Of Counsel Joan Stewart discuss how the H.R. 1 provisions will affect the regulation of digital political ads (both campaign and issue ads); how the bill will affect sellers and purchasers of ads; and how the bill will make advertising platforms and media companies responsible for preventing foreign nationals from purchasing political ads.
