AI Summary
This bill, the Foreign Agent Disclaimer Enhancement Act of 2021 or the FADE Act of 2021, amends the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) to clarify the application of disclaimer requirements for informational materials posted on online platforms by agents of foreign principals. It requires the agent to ensure the disclaimer is placed directly with the posted material, and allows for an abbreviated version if the full disclaimer is incompatible with the platform. The bill also applies the disclaimer requirements to persons outside the United States, and requires online platforms with over 50 million US visitors to maintain the disclaimer if the Attorney General determines it was not properly included. Additionally, the bill clarifies that individuals engaging in political activities for a foreign principal, whether inside or outside the US, are considered agents of a foreign principal under FARA.
