Social Media makes spreading propaganda much easier because it can reach many people, and requires little effort to be shared. On top of that, social media users can filter in the content they want to see, and filter out the things they do not want. Social media makes spreading propaganda accessible to not only ordinary people, but government agencies and politicians are now taking advantage of the platforms to spread "junk" news in favor of their cause. Government agents are being paid to spread false information and confuse people who are discussing the truth online. In the 21st century, the distributing of propaganda has shifted from traditional forms of media like newspapers and television newscasts to social media platforms, and it is getting much easier to convince the public of different agendas.
