California is considering a policy that would fine content creators for not disclosing paid political posts. This comes after the state, along with Texas, passed policies requiring transparency from influencers who promote political campaigns. In a recent example, Los Angeles-based influencer Shaka Smith posted about his support for a gubernatorial candidate on Instagram, clearly stating that the post was an ad and that he was paid by the campaign.

Further details on California's potential policy and its implications are available from KSAT 12's source.
