California adds fines for undisclosed paid political influencer posts
Image: Primary California Governor Gavin Newsom signed AB 1130, allowing regulators to fine influencers up to $5,000 per violation for failing to disclose payment for political posts. Regulators may also refer violations to law enforcement for potential misdemeanors. California had already required disclosures for paid posts about state and local races, but the prior rules carried no fines or criminal penalties. The article does not state an effective date for the new law.
