Propaganda is fundamentally about convincing people of things that, if believed, are beneficial to you-- regardless of whether they're true. Accordingly, this often includes "spin."

- CA Section: It's someone else's fault.

- Compensation: Misdirection, obviously false statements (e.g. "It couldn't happen now")

- Scraping: Lies (e.g. "found out about [scraping] abuse 2 weeks ago")

- Accountability: Act as if it's only about firing people.

- Data safety: Not actually addressed.

- Business model: Actual lies (e.g. "FB doesn't sell data")

Oh, I understood that posting the photo was propaganda, not the actual content of the notes. I guess the meaning of the parent post was ambiguous.
