ALBANY — Amid federal inaction on Russian interference in U.S. elections, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the Democratic-dominated state Assembly said Wednesday they plan to push a new law to require social media companies to disclose who is paying for their political ads.

The proposal, included in the governor’s executive budget proposal unveiled in mid-January, would require all political communications—including print, digital, visual or auditory—to state who paid for the advertisements. The so-called Democracy Protection Act also would require online platforms, such as social media sites, to archive political ads and “protect state elections from foreign influence.”
