Politicians can run false claims, spread misinformation, and publish AI-generated content, all without facing consequences. That could soon change though, after one MP introduced a bill last week to try and legislate truth in political advertising.  In today’s podcast we're going to break down the rules around political ads, and what proposed changes could be on the horizon.
