AI Summary
This bill, the Preventing Adversaries Internationally from Disbursing Advertising Dollars Act (PAID AD Act), aims to protect the integrity of American democracy by expanding the existing prohibition on political advertising by foreign nationals. It does this by prohibiting foreign nationals from purchasing any broadcast, cable, satellite, or online communication that mentions a clearly identified candidate for federal office, regardless of whether the communication contains express advocacy. The bill also defines the term "online platform" to include any public-facing website, web application, or digital application with at least 50 million unique monthly U.S. visitors or users, which sells qualified political advertisements.
