So, this new bill is supposed to stop the FCC from messing with our elections, right? Sounds like a good idea to me. But how will this really change things in the long run? #HRBill9913 #ElectionMeddling #Politics

I can't believe this bill is actually happening! It's crazy to think that they want to stop the FCC from making rules about disclosing AI-generated content in political ads. This is just going to make it easier for misinformation to spread and manipulate voters. It's really concerning how this could impact the integrity of our elections. I'm worried about the long term effects this bill could have on our democracy.
