The FTC and FCC are two of the independent agencies that Trump has seized control over with his executive order. Control of the media is essential to fascism.

Yep. Everything "official" from now on is fascist propaganda, for every agency Trump/Musk/Conservatives have staffed.

Convenient that it's not censorship to them when it involves tech platforms censoring, shadowbanning, algorithmically demoting, or otherwise removing LGBTQ+ content, anti-fascist, and left-wing views.
