The Federal Election Commission has deadlocked on the issue of whether to regulate political videos on YouTube. The incident is at least the third time since the beginning of the year that commissioners have failed to agree on whether they should regulate the Web.

The issue involved a right-leaning group, the Foundation for a Secure and Prosperous America, that posted YouTube videos last year critical of Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul’s position on the Iranian nuclear deal. A complaint was filed arguing the group should have been forced to disclose the videos to the FEC. The agency’s three Democratic commissioners voted to impose sanctions on the group for failing to disclose the videos, while the commission’s three Republicans voted against punishing the group.
