american goverment blocks americas watching tv

i was looking at VOA on wiki today and notice this

"Under United States law (Section 501 of the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948), the Voice of America is forbidden to broadcast directly to American citizens. The original intent of this section of the legislation was to protect the American public from propaganda actions by its own government."
