During the Cold War, the US worried very much about propaganda from the Soviet Union. I think various elements of the power structure don't want it stopped: * A large part of the power structure, one of the major political parties, uses and relies on propaganda extenstively. Yes, both parties do it to some degree, but one relies on revving up its supporters with unending, absolute nonsense. * Big tech doesn't want to be regulated.
