Internet giants are pushing back against tougher election advertising regulations, asking the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to allow for some flexibility in how they disclose funding sources for political ads.
In a filing submitted Tuesday, the Internet Association (IA), a trade group representing the biggest web-based technology companies, said that the same disclosure requirements imposed on television and radio ads don’t work well for the internet.
“IA’s recommended approach is to allow for more flexibility given the variety of ways that internet content is consumed and to preserve the ability of the IA’s members to innovate and to allow users of those platforms to innovate,” the filing reads.
The FEC is currently considering a pair of proposals to regulate online political ad disclosures. The commission has strict requirements for most forms of political advertising, but the rules around social media ads have been vague.
Internet companies have argued against requiring disclaimers on many ads due to space limitations, especially on mobile devices.

I had an anti obama blog and all the adds popped up by google were pro Obama. I stopped the adds
Left-wing ads good, right-wing ads bad.
See how easy that was?
The Leftist slime internet cabal almost got Clinton elected. They will go to any lengths to not fail again with the next installment of a-hole candidates.
How does that judge’s ruling that they are a public platform affect this?
Will only serve to make their bias more obvious.
