Yeah that's an interesting idea.
There are a couple of issues with it though.
Let's think about Signal, Twitter, Facebook and Tor.
The US government is putting increasing pressure on social media companies like Twitter and Facebook to shape their content.
US government funded open source projects like Signal and Tor allow for the spread of US shaped social media in countries that want to limit it.
So the propaganda machine thrives , it's just that it's the US one.
(note I like and use Signal and Tor, an against censorship in China. This is just one aspect of a set of complex relationships. Etc etc)
