Today there's a new disclaimer controversy. Hasen links to the wall street journal about a complaint filed about no disclaimers on google ads.

An online twist in a hotly contested race for mayor of St. Petersburg, Fla., could signal trouble for local politicians advertising on popular Web sites like Google, Facebook and Twitter.
The Florida Elections Commission has decided a mayoral candidate's ads on Google and Facebook appear to violate the state's election law because they don't include a disclaimer that indicates who bought them.
These are the members of the florida elections commission who are unconstitutionally censoring political speech on the internet.
