Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene calls for FARA registration for paid influencers

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced that all social media influencers who are paid by the Israeli government or any foreign government to promote that country"s interests must register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) with the Department of Justice (DOJ). This statement was made public on Wednesday, October 1, 2025.

Greene"s call for registration aligns with ongoing discussions about foreign influence in social media and the transparency of financial relationships between influencers and foreign entities. The Foreign Agents Registration Act requires individuals and entities acting on behalf of foreign governments to disclose their relationships and activities to the U.S. government.

This announcement comes amid a broader context of scrutiny regarding foreign influence in American politics and media. Similar situations have arisen in various political contexts, including recent developments in other countries, such as Lukashenko discussing survival strategies with Putin.

As of now, it remains to be seen how this proposal will be received by influencers and the broader public.
