Overview

• Wired detailed a covert program that offered select creators $8,000 per month to amplify Democratic messaging online.
• Contracts sent via Chorus, described as the nonprofit arm of a liberal influencer marketing platform, required nondisclosure of payments and limited what political content creators could produce.
• A private group chat in June captured creators weighing the terms of the deal and how to respond to the contract language.
• The chat included prominent voices with a combined audience of at least 13 million, and participants named in the reporting debated whether to proceed.
• Some creators began signing, though key facts such as ultimate funders, the program’s scale, and any regulatory follow-up remain unverified.
