When information regulation is combined with all powerful intellegence agencies you get a very dangerous combination. Their whole game is deception and controlling what information gets out, then covering their asses when anything goes wrong. Zero transparency, 'due process', or independent review processes. It's incredibly easy to manufacture 'consensus' among gov experts and feed 'anonymous sources' to news agencies and influencers. This goes way beyond trying to tip the scales of partisan culture wars.
