The Texas Ethics Commission Is Changing The Rules For Political Advertising

June 19, 2024 by Willy1550

Micro-celebrities in Texas who spread propaganda on social media will soon have to say if they got paid to post it.

The Texas Ethics Commission changed the rules this week to keep pace with political advertising that, until now, has only forced disclosures during commercial advertising.

UTSA professor, Jon Taylor, says that political advertising has skyrocketed on platforms like X, formerly known as Twitter.

During the impeachment trial of the Texas Attorney General, influencers were being quietly paid 50-bucks a post to defend Ken Paxton.

Much of that came from a company called Influenceable, run by former Trump aid Brad Parscale.
