Not really. They lifted the ban on the domestic dissemination of materials originating from the State Department.

Other departments and external agencies were, and still are, able to target propaganda at US citizens.

    So no in theory, yes in practice?

    Yes in theory. Yes in practice.

    The error is believing that propaganda against US citizens was ever illegal.

    I mean, you can talk about legality and find all sorts of technical restrictions in code.

    But who believes any of this shit was enforced?

    The closest thing we've had to a government action against US propaganda was Biden's War On TikTok. And that was for the unspeakable crime of mentioning the Gaza Genocide too many times.

    I would even argue that Fox News is propaganda.
