Holy shit. This is the dumbest thing EVER.

Just think of all of the people right here on GFY who don't live in the U.S.A. and comment every day about our politics...Mueller will soon be indicting YOU for trying to change people's minds about shit.

What a joke.

It's like they are trying to turn our country into the old Soviet Union where we are not allowed to hear other viewpoints from around the world.
They are criminalizing social media free speech.
That's the very interesting part, I'm commenting on the US politics on the internet too, I've endorsed one of the candidates as well.

Does that require me, legally, to register as a "foreign agent" in US? Could I, as a person outside of US, expressing preference in US politics on the internet, be indicted for "meddling" with US politics?

It sounds absurd, but I would be frankly interested in the legal angle here.
