I'm aware of the conspiracy theories, and of course there are plenty of sources that repeat them. The first link is a highly partisan website that is quoting America First Legal, founded by Stephen Miller (yes, that Stephen Miller). The second is not as described: Its aim is to prevent enemy states from conducting propaganda campaigns in free societies, an undeniable danger. Its recommendations are,

1. Raise the cost of conducting malign influence operations against the United States and its allies.

2. Close vulnerabilities that foreign adversaries exploit to undermine democratic institutions.

3. Separate politics from efforts to unmask and respond to foreign operations against the U.S. electoral process.

4. Strengthen partnerships with Europe to improve the transatlantic response to this transnational threat.

5. Make transparency the norm in the tech sector.

6. Build a more constructive public-private partnership to identify and address emerging tech threats.

7. Exhibit caution when reporting on leaked information and using social media accounts as journalism sources.

8. Increase support for local and independent media.

9. Extend the dialogue about foreign interference in democracies beyond Washington.

10. Remember that our democracy is only as strong as we make it.

It's significant that a political faction does everything it can to remove barriers to disinformation, for example using lawfare and other attacks to shut down research into it, using political power to disable the country's ability to protect itself.
