Go look up the actual requirement for FARA before spewing nonsense.
- leephillips 5y agoThe FARA act covers a person who “solicits, collects, disburses, or dispenses contributions, loans, money, or other things of value within the United States” while acting in the interests of a “foreign government, a foreign political party, any person outside the United States ... and any entity organized under the laws of a foreign country or having its principal place of business in a foreign country.”
- nzmsv 5y agoBut an individual person is not a foreign entity, especially not if they are a US citizen. There is the loophole for "representing interests of a foreign principal before US government officials" though, so I guess this is written broadly enough to snag anyone who may step on some toes.
- leephillips 5y agoWho’s talking about the person being a foreign entity? You’re seriously confused.
- dang 5y agoPlease don't cross into personal attack. If another commenter is confused, or you feel they are, it's enough to supply correct information in a helpful spirit. Alternatively, it's always fine not to post. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
