Representative Mai Xiong :
We don’t have current laws in place to prevent this or disclosure payment to social media creators and influencers, but I am working on legislation to make it state law in Michigan! Thanks for your reporting and for uplifting this message.

I won't forget when a creator was paid by Tom Steyer to promote him, but she pronounced his name as "Tom Sawyer".

You should listen to Scene on Radio’s new season, The News. It offers important context for the conversation around journalism, political speech, and who gets to control the flow of information. News outlets and journalism’s shift toward ~independence~ helped create an information system where wealthy elites can increasingly profit from and shape access to news. The founders of this country largely believed in a free press where information was widely distributed and accessible to the public. That raises a bigger question about where political influencers fit into the future of media. I worry that expanding disclosure requirements without addressing the underlying infrastructure further limits who can participate in political speech. Who has the time and financial security to devote their lives to producing political content? Who gets access to audiences? Who determines which voices are amplified? Social media companies already hold enormous power over those questions. A handful of monopolized platforms control distribution and have repeatedly limited, removed, demonetized, or suppressed content around Palestine, prison labor, detention centers, ICE, Border Patrol, and other issues challenging state power. I think we should be talking more seriously about models that socialize journalism and political media as public goods. Democracy depends on widespread access to information and the ability to participate in public discourse. That access cannot depend entirely on whether someone can afford to work for free, whether an algorithm decides their content is profitable, or whether a corporation approves of their politics. Transparency obviously matters. But so does building an information ecosystem where democratic participation is expanded rather than reserved for the people with the resources to survive inside an increasingly privatized media system.
