Maryland Online Transparency Act struck down

https://thefulcrum.us/maryland-political-advertising-law

 

“… a three-judge panel of the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals says the law unconstitutionally singles out political expression for special scrutiny and promises a "chilling effect" on free speech. The unanimous ruling on Friday, upholding a federal trial judge's position, is the latest in a series of federal judicial decisions against efforts to regulate campaign financing.”

 

We supported this law to require disclosure of online political advertising. We need more details to see how broadly it was overturned by the courts.
