I’m posting on Facebook.

And I’m negotiating with Facebook.

House Bill 768 would require online platforms to keep records of political advertisements.

Before a bill hearing, I often try to meet with the opponents of my legislation to see if we can reach a compromise.

In this instance, the more accurate term would be the business most directly affected by the bill.

I met with a Facebook executive and the company’s Annapolis lobbyists before the bill hearing.

This weekend, the company sent me its reactions to the conversations it had with me and another legislator, as well as its reactions to the hearings and SBE thoughts.

The discussions continue.
