Your solution also doesn’t take into account the types of ads that don’t require a click to have an effect: impression-based advertising where the simple act of seeing the ad – without clicking it – sends a message to the viewer. Even if it’s not technically paid for yet, that impression could be a negative attack ad, a positive issues-stance, or anything else (including straight fraudulent claims or libel). Letting campaigns influence voter opinion in this way (subtle, I realize, but it has a very real, demonstrable effect) without putting their name on it is creating a niche for online guerilla warfare in the political arena, and is currently leading to major problems around the country. This issue will come to a head during the 2012 election, if not sooner, and is really going to mess with internet campaign finance law in general, an area that is still pretty legally grey.

Now this is an interesting conundrum.

Your solution is simple. It’s also quite realistic and practical. But yet, you’re right that it may be too simple.

I wonder how many complaints of this type we’ll see as the next election cycle closes in.
