PlainBill explanation
Based on the full Introduced in House · 2026-08-27 text. This explanation has not received human editorial review. This overview describes the proposal’s major provisions; it does not establish what its real-world effects would be.
The proposed Foreign Propaganda Disclosure Act would expressly add social media influencers to an existing definition in the Foreign Agents Registration Act. It defines an influencer as any person with a monetized social media account—an account used to earn money. The existing definition is not reproduced, so the supplied text does not establish the full effect on registration obligations.
This Act may be cited as the Foreign Propaganda Disclosure Act.

(r) The term social media influencer means any person who has a monetized social media account on any social media platform;
Section 2 would insert “a social media influencer or” after “includes” in subsection (h) of the existing law. Its new influencer definition covers any person with a monetized account on any social media platform; it states no minimum follower count or earnings threshold.
(1) in subsection (h), by inserting a social media influencer or after includes;
(r) The term social media influencer means any person who has a monetized social media account on any social media platform;

(s) The term social media platform has the meaning given such term defined in section 124 of the Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act of 2022 (42 U.S.C. 1862w).
