Some individuals serving in the public sector might want to "control your thoughts" with this new scary technology, but I think that's FUD and you're much more likely to encounter the private sector trying to control your thoughts.

They are not mutually exclusive. However, there is significant precedent for government interest in controlling population narratives. We have agencies that exist for that purpose alone.

Additionally, Twitter Files just recently got another personal interpretation from the court which has now just blocked the government from such previous actions.

I understand that, and the public narratives being spun by the private sector about “Twitter Files” in an attempt to prevent government intervention in future cases where coordinated disinformation is used to attack governments and control its citizens.

Scary government is disproportionately represented in the story you linked, that’s all I’m observing here.
