Another sub-point regarding propaganda/marketing/PR:
the internet and the media are currently *mostly* financed through propaganda/marketing/PR, limiting it artificially. Change to payments for services & goods.

A sub-point regarding legal the shift:
note how the propaganda corpos in Hollywood, and the comms corpos in Silicon Valley get special legal treatment - ever-increasing copyright with free (!!) worldwide protection, and ever-wider legal immunities, from Section 230 to (...)
