I don't see (yet?) how this directly solves the problem.

Let's say I'm a foreign intelligence agency and want to influence people through ads. Feels like I just need to set up a shell corporation based in the states. Once I'm authorized, I can load the creative offshore.

It solves the problem of Facebook getting bad PR.

I'd be shocked if Zuck gives 2 shits about any of this, beyond thinking about how he can utilize facebook to get himself elected.

Lol welcome to post Citizen's United. Anyone with an LLC can spend unlimited money on an election legally. No need to hide foreign money, just spend $50 and make a new corp based in the US.
