Ever heard of Voice of America radio? From the end of WW2 to the Cold War, all they did was broadcast counter-propaganda in Soviet controlled Europe.

VoA isn't an algorithm that can manipulate you into making purchases you otherwise wouldn't. Those in Eastern Europe are probably thankful that a short wave radio program existed in the 1980s, before the Wall fell. If your point is that America broadcasts propaganda, then yes I'll concede the point. But it's entirely irrelevant.
