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?
Buckwheat? If you're going to stoop to racial slurs...and least get it right. I'm a cracker.
Second, you have no idea whatsoever what the proposed regulation is going to be or who it will apply too.....because it hasn't been written yet. Its kind of like Obamacare.....nobody will know whats in it....until its passed....and people will lie about it....just to pacify you so they can implement it.
Third, why do you need to regulate the posting of internet videos? The ability to create a video and post it on the internet for hundreds of thousands to see is with in the means of just about everyone 12 years or older? Its not like radio or TV ads which require tons of money to produce and disseminate.
Last, the only reasons whatsoever to regulate internet videos, are to either directly regulate to content of the speech....Or to simply make it harder for your average citizen to use the internet for political speech.
Regarding the "douchebag" name....I am simply imitating Minimalist's demotroll style of posting. I bet a hypocrite like you never once called him out on it.
