President Donald Trump recently shared a video from a supporter on his Truth Social platform. The woman in the clip, “who voted for (Trump) three times,” implored the president to reinstate a law.

“I am hoping and praying that you will revisit what Barack Obama and Joe Biden got rid of back in 2013, which is the Smith-Mundt Act, which held news corporations accountable for lying to the American people, and spreading propaganda instead of truth,” the woman said.

She suggested the legislation would be called the “Charlie Kirk Act.”

But this claim, along with much of the video’s content, is false, according to PolitiFact.

The U.S. Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948, or the Smith-Mundt Act, was enacted to regulate broadcasting to foreign audiences, which led to the creation of Voice of America, a station funded by the U.S. government.

The act doesn’t apply to private news organizations and does not penalize the news corporations for their content.

In 2012, the law was amended, not repealed, by a bipartisan group, to update a “Cold-War Era law that hampers diplomatic, military efforts,” according to a May 15, 2012, news release from lawmakers. The focus of the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act was to repeal a ban on what the government-run stations could distribute to foreign audiences and in the United States.

“While the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 was developed to counter communism during the Cold War, it is outdated for the conflicts of today,” Democratic Rep. Adam Smith, from Washington, said in the release.

“Part of what we’re going to have to do is to start experimenting with new forms of journalism and how we use social media in ways that reaffirm facts and separate facts from opinion. We want diversity of opinion. We don’t want diversity of facts. That, I think, is one of the big tasks of social media. By the way, it will require some government regulatory constraints…” Obama said.

Sexual Selection- Definition, Types, Examples, and Graph

Sexual selection is a mode of evolution where certain traits increase an organism's ability to find a mate and reproduce. It operates through two main mechanisms: intrasexual selection, where members of one sex compete for access to the other (e.g., male-on-male competition), and intersexual selection, where one sex chooses a mate from the other based on certain traits (e.g., female choice). Over generations, traits that improve mating success—even those that might hinder survival, like a peacock's elaborate tail—become more common in a population.

A.I. missed another form of sexual selection, prearranged. Culturally prearranged relies on third parties to select mates
