Quote:Democratic FEC Vice Chair Ann M. Ravel announced plans to begin the process to win regulations on Internet-based campaigns and videos, currently free from most of the FEC’s rules. “A reexamination of the commission’s approach to the internet and other emerging technologies is long over due,” she said.
The power play followed a deadlocked 3-3 vote on whether an Ohio anti-President Obama Internet campaign featuring two videos violated FEC rules when it did not report its finances or offer a disclosure on the ads. The ads were placed for free on Youtube and were not paid advertising

The purpose is to inform the electorate of the demographics of the political players and hold them to the election laws.
If the youtube videos are truly from independent individuals then "NOTHING" happens, no videos are taken down, no one fined or anything like that. It's not painful to report a $0.00 cost.
If you are a corporation or a political candidate, trying to hide and act like a popular groundswell, then the new rule would unmask you and hold you to the election laws.
What is soo terrible about that that warrants the douchbag name? Or are you just being a mindless Limbaughbot?
