Conversation

I’m proposing an American Social Media Act — a law that would require every U.S.-based platform to clearly label foreign accounts as “Foreign Account,” even if they’re using a VPN. Platforms already have the tech to detect this through IP-reputation checks, device fingerprints, login patterns, and billing metadata. And if they ignore it, the penalties should mean something: $25k–$50k per violation, up to $250k for repeat failures, plus an annual cap of 1–2% of U.S. revenue. If social media shapes our national conversation, users deserve real disclosure about who’s actually talking.
