Texas To Require Micro-Celebrities To Disclose Any Political Pay

Micro-celebrities in Texas who spread information on social media will soon have to say if they got paid to post it. The Texas Ethics Commission changed the rules this week to keep pace with political advertising that, until now, has only forced disclosures during commercial advertising. During the impeachment trial of the Texas Attorney General, influencers were being quietly paid 50-bucks a post to defend Ken Paxton. Much of that came from a company called Influenceable, run by a former Trump aid.
