I'd suggest our frames of reference are too far apart.

Your statements indicate that you place the entire onus of responsibility on end users. I hold some fault toward users, but include fault in the providers.

Generally, the world isn't black and white.

Why do you believe users deserve all of the responsibility? What about in countries where the entirety of information in and out is filtered?

This style of propoganda may be a type of coerced information.

These are also private entities. They can legally and morally censor without recourse.

All in all, I find the triviliation of those possibilities distrubing.

As I said before, propaganda always has and will exist. Certainly measures can be taken to combat it, but some nonzero amount will be there and people first and foremost should expect to face it.

You're injecting an opposite extreme, implying that I don't think propaganda should be combated at all. But the first line of combat is broader communication, so usurpation for propaganda isn't the only content that flows, and multiple points of view are freely shared. With respect to free speech, legal action against propagandists should generally be reserved for origination of falsehoods and incitement to violence, which tends to already exist in our legal frameworks.
