Podcasts about Honest Ads Act

Money, money, moneyyyyyyy! That is what this episode is all about – specifically dark money in politics. You know, that shady, sus thing that seems to have a way of controlling what policies make it across the finish line. To get the rundown on what dark money is and how we can say toodle-loo to it, we brought on a Congressman who has been making a name for himself as a leader on campaign finance reform – Congressman Dean Phillips of Minnesota's third district. In convo, he gives us more than chump change on why dark money is so prevalent, how it's used, and the legislation that's needed to fix this issue. For a glimpse ahead, we talk about the DISCLOSE Act, Honest Ads Act, Get Foreign Money Out of Elections Act, AND a select committee of note – the US House Select Committee on the Modernization of Congress.

This week, Simone takes a closer look at the Federal Election Commission - the only government agency tasked solely with overseeing the integrity of our political campaigns – with one of the FEC's commissioners, Shana Broussard. She also takes a deeper look at our current campaign finance system, and how that system has failed to keep up with modern times – namely by failing to adequately regulate online ads. She is joined by some former Senate staffers who were part of an effort to change that.  Guests:Commissioner Shana M. Broussard joined the FEC in 2008 as an attorney in the Enforcement Division of the Office of General Counsel. In 2015, she was assigned on detail as Counsel for Commissioner Steven T. Walther, advising the Commissioner during his tenure as Chair in 2017 and continuing in that role until her own appointment as Commissioner. Commissioner Broussard previously was an Attorney Advisor at the Internal Revenue Service, Office of Professional Responsibility, and Deputy Disciplinary Counsel at the Louisiana Attorney Disciplinary Board. She also worked as a New Orleans Assistant District Attorney and was appointed in that role to the Violent Offenders Strike Force.Read her full bio here. Adav Noti coordinates all of CLC's programmatic activities, overseeing CLC's efforts to fix the campaign finance system, protect voting rights, ensure fair redistricting and promote government ethics.

Voting laws have been capturing headlines, and not just in the context of Georgia but with nearly 20 other states considering similar voter restrictive legislation as well. In 2020, some of the biggest national security issues played out in the context of elections. This week, NSLT welcomes Nate Persily, the James B. McClatchy Professor of Law at Stanford Law School, to discuss the role of federal and state governments in elections, the use of new technology, and the implications these laws have on national security and democracy.

The ‘Honest Ads Act’ will hurt American citizens, not Russian trolls See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Adam Sharp, Twitter’s former head of news, says it's being left to companies to fight online propaganda. And Representative Derek Kilmer on the chances the Honest Ads Act will pass before the elections. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg faces US Congress, Facebook announces verification for political ads and changes to its platform, Twitter announces support for the Honest Ads Act and  its own planform called the Ads Transparency Center, automated bots account for two thirds of the information on Twitter, Instagram releases FOCUS and API changes ahead of schedule, Twitter and Manchester City Football Club announce a partnership, Snapchat releases face filters for the iPhone X, Grindr confirms that it has shared the HIV status of some of its members with other vendors and hashtags that could put your kids in danger being highlighted in a new privacy campaign. 

Mark Zuckerberg survived Congress. Now what? That's the big question now that the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives have put Zuckerberg and Facebook under the microscope. After 10+ hours of testimony, plenty of clueless questions, and multiple promises that Facebook's team would "follow up" with lawmakers, the public now has a chance to re-examine its fundamental relationship with Facebook, and judge whether or not "breach of trust" that Zuckerberg has admitted will lead to fundamental change. Zuckerberg has promised the company would atone for past sins through audits of former developers and changes in how it handles data. It's also addressing the accusation that it enabled Russian operatives to manipulate its network in an attempt to sway public opinion with better detection tools and much greater transparency in its advertisers -- a clear attempt to get ahead of new regulations, such as the Honest Ads Act, before they hit the social network like a speeding freight train. One of the fundamental questions the hearings addressed is one that has dogged Facebook almost since its beginning: Is it a tech company or a media company? Zuckerberg tried to have it both ways in the hearings, but Republican lawmakers seized upon his ambivalence, pointing to alleged bias against conservative views and citing the work of former Gizmodo reporter and current Mashable Deputy Tech Editor Michael Nuñez, where he uncovered an anti-conservative slant in Facebook's (now defunct) trending news team back in 2016. Nuñez speaks out for the first time about having his work cited in this debate on this week's MashTalk podcast, where we also discuss Facebook's broader responsibilities. The Next Web's Matt Navarra, a long-time Facebook observer and commentator, also joins to help unpack the hearings, what will happen next, and whether or not the whole affair has strengthened or weakened Facebook. And, hey, did Zuckerberg actually hint there may someday be a paid version? Follow Matt on Twitter. Follow Michael, Pete, and MashTalk, too.

After the 2016 elections, it was revealed that foreign agents bought around $100,000 in social media ads. In response, some members of the House and Senate are seeking stricter regulations on political speech on social media. Is this a necessary step to preserve the integrity of American elections or another example of the erosion of free speech? In this episode, Ed is joined by Alan Dickerson, the legal director for the Institute for Free Speech, who highlights the dangers to speech of regulating online speech. *All opinions expressed on this podcast do not necessarily reflect the opinion of Americans for Prosperity.

72: Honest Ads Act: Honestly Overbroad? by

A bipartisan group of senators introduced a bill Thursday that would require online political advertisers to provide additional disclosures about who's paying for their ads, but the measure may prove a half-step toward preventing foreign adversaries from influencing US elections online. During a press conference Thursday, Democratic Sens. Mark Warner and Amy Klobuchar introduced the much-anticipated Honest Ads Act, co-sponsored by Republican Sen. John McCain.

This week, Mike and Jay start by looking at the bipartisan Senate proposal to stabilize Obamacare markets in the wake of President Trump halting cost-sharing subsidies to insurers, as well as the clever way state insurance regulators are dealing with this major change to the Affordable Care Act. After that, it's a primer on budget resolutions: when they started, what they were intended for, and why they're not almost meaningless ... with one major exception. Mike argues that legislating through budget resolutions is a Very Bad Idea, and says that it would be better if the Senate dropped this facade along with the filibuster. Jay agrees, and also feels that the Senate tradition of Blue Slips - where home state Senators have an effective veto over federal judicial nominations in the state - also no longer makes sense, a position Mike holds as well. Then it's a look at the latest Trump travel ban, which has been blocked by two federal judges. Both Mike and Jay believe that while the travel ban is bad policy, it's not unconstitutional and expect the Supreme Court to eventually uphold it. Finally, the Guys look at the 'Honest Ads Act' a bipartisan (just barely) Senate proposal intended to make it much harder for foreign governments to use social media ads to influence U.S. elections.
