Do we ban propaganda in the US now? Or do we educate people out of believing it?



We've banned foreign ownership of traditional media channels since the 30s. We did not ban the propaganda but we did deplatform it.


Federally regulated airwave media aside, this is the internet. Telling the company they cannot operate in the US because of the content of the messages that might proliferate on it is a dangerous precedent. If you’re really claiming that the internet should be regulated as much as TV, I fear for that future
