Foreign Agents Registration Act, RT, Facebook Ad Controversy
The discussion covers the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), noting that RT (Russia Today) was forced to register while other foreign influencers, such as Nigel Farage, were not. A Facebook executive's tweets are mentioned, suggesting that the majority of Russian-purchased ads were actually run after the 2016 election. The hosts speculate that Facebook is in "crisis mode" regarding potential government regulations.
