I'm not sure what you mean. FDA is protecting consumers, right?

From their website:

The Food and Drug Administration is responsible for protecting the public health by ensuring the safety, efficacy, and security of human and veterinary drugs, biological products, and medical devices; and by ensuring the safety of our nation's food supply, cosmetics, and products that emit radiation.

I can't see how this is related to propaganda. FDA is protecting, propaganda is hurting and misleading.

I'm sure there's someone who thinks the FDAs take on some issues is propaganda.

These days, we seem to blur all the meaning behind things.

What's the difference now between an opinion or view that you disagree with, and propaganda? People assert everything is propaganda of some kind.

Same thoughts about hate speech,.jokes about stereotypes,.etc. I'm in no way advocating for hate speech by the way, people just have very broad views on these things now.

I'm not sure how platforms can allow freedom of speech without hate speech and propaganda, it's all based on views, priorities, morals,.values, and a society's tolerance of certain things.
