Bill overview
The Firewall Act aims to prevent foreign nationals from influencing U.S. elections by restricting their ability to fund political advertising. Specifically, it prohibits foreign individuals and entities from making payments for communications intended to promote, support, attack, or oppose candidates running for office at the federal, state, or local level. This includes online advertisements, broadcast media, and other paid communications disseminated close to elections. The goal is to safeguard the integrity of the electoral process by limiting foreign interference.
