The original 1948 law allowed US propaganda to be used overseas via Voice of America, movie production and other means. It was strictly forbidden for the US Government to use propaganda on the American people domestically.
In 2012, the "Modernization" of this law was signed by Obama and it "legally" allows the US Government to propagandise Americans.
I put legally in quotes because I believe this Modernization of the law is Unconstitutional.
In 2013, Congress abolished the domestic dissemination ban. Check your terminology. It doesn’t allow it, it just doesn’t expressly forbid it anymore. Such distinction is important in understanding legal law fare.
What does the Modernization of the Smith Mundt Act mean?
Hint, the 1948 Smith Mundt Act was "Modernized" while oblama was in office.

TLDR: the Smith Mundt Act is a law that allows the government to use propaganda on the people.
It was a law that prevented propaganda being used on the people. Repealing it is what allows it.

Okay, thank you. Please share your sauce if you don't mind. I appreciate it.
Propaganda? I wish that were the extent of it. Go read the Church Commission report and you'll see the CIA was going for straight up mind control.
MK Ultra is a real thing.
I suspect many of the mass shootings and ff are using this type of system.
