CALIFORNIA WILL FINE CREATORS $5,000 A POST FOR HIDDEN POLITICAL ADS

Summary from the TLDR Marketing newsletter

California now allows fines of up to $5,000 per post for creators who fail to disclose paid political content from campaigns. AB 1130 gives the Fair Political Practices Commission enforcement powers that were previously missing. The law applies when creators are paid by campaign committees to support or oppose candidates or ballot measures. It doesn't cover unpaid political opinions. The law follows growing use of influencers in political campaigns and similar disclosure efforts elsewhere.
