Intelligence gathering is part of propaganda. Especially with AI, there is near simultaneous intelligence gathering and propaganda.
For instance, during covid lockdowns, if people's cars stayed in people's garages or driveways, they were "good conforming citizens." If those vehicles moved around, then they were "bad rebellious citizens." This intelligence gathering could be used to determine which ads or links are displayed on people's apps, phones, and tvs. As intelligence is gathered, propaganda is fine tuned to the individual. If the vehicle was moving around alot and then stayed home, the AI could determine which propaganda worked and then use the same on other non-conformists.
I've often wondered why so many conservatives bought the vaxx hook, line, and sinker, and my personal conclusion is that "adaptive propaganda" finally wore them down and made them conform.
Agree.
