I was thinking about Q's Post "The BILL that opened the door for TWITTER, FB, GOOG, etc. to CENSOR & CONTROL." and tried to break the bill down a bit.
Nicely called "countering disinformation and propaganda", the bill gives the government a full mandate to punish, shut down or otherwise prosecute, any website it deems offensive and a source of foreign government propaganda. But there is no proving whether it is propaganda or not, so it's the governments word against the particular website or news outlet - and the government will certainly prevail.
Conclusion in simple words: The government can shutdown any narrative legally.
Moreover, with The National Defense Authorization Act passed in 2012, the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 got nullified . That's allowing the the State Department and the Broadcasting Board of Governors to spread propaganda to the American people legally.
Conclusion in simple words: The same People who can shutdown any narrative legally, made it for themselves to spread propaganda.
From a legal point of view, they seem to have a good stand. Presumably a new Bill could be written to declare the whole thing illegal (maybe it does), but more important for the moment is that people wake up and discover for themselves what is going on here.
