Why regulating digital political spending remains a global challenge
In short: This lecture by Professor Lori Ringhand explores why UK and US officials struggle to regulate online political spending. Despite vastly different approaches to campaign financing, both nations face remarkably similar hurdles in managing the digital political landscape.
Professor Lori Ringhand, the J. Alton Hosch Professor of Law at Georgia University, examines the practical and principled difficulties of regulating internet-based political spending. She compares how the United Kingdom and the United States attempt to govern these expenditures, noting that their distinct legal frameworks for campaign finance have not prevented them from encountering nearly identical obstacles.
Recorded in April 2019 as part of the Gresham College Fulbright Lecture, this discussion highlights the complexities of applying traditional election laws to the modern digital era.
