Reading, quoting, and teaching
Short, because a reference site needs few rules. Read the site freely, quote it with attribution, teach from it, and respect the rights noted on each archive item.
Last updated 4 October 2026
1. The site
Propagandized (propagandized.org) is published by the same independent publisher as logicalfallacies.org. By using the site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, the remedy is simple: do not use it.
2. The text
The technique entries, case studies, glossary, annotations, and all other writing on the site are © Propagandized unless stated otherwise. You may quote from them with attribution and a link, in print or online, at the length fair use allows. You may not republish whole entries, sell them, or present them as your own. Teachers may copy any page for use in their own classroom; see section 5.
3. The archive
The posters, leaflets, and advertisements in the archive belong to the public collections named on each item and are reproduced under the license recorded there, usually the public domain or a Creative Commons license. Those terms, not ours, govern your use of the images. The annotations placed on them are ours and fall under section 2. The archive is a study collection; some items are offensive, and reproducing one here is not endorsement.
4. The tools
The quiz, the reference card, the maps, and any other tool on the site are provided free for personal and educational use. Output of the tools describes techniques; it is not a judgment of any text, person, or organization, and must not be presented as one.
5. Classrooms
Teachers, lecturers, and trainers may print, copy, and distribute any page of the site to their own students without asking, provided the page keeps its attribution to propagandized.org. Materials sold by the site (the educator pack and similar) come with their own license stated at purchase.
6. Accuracy
The site is edited with care and every example is cited, but it is a reference written by people, and it will contain errors. It is provided as is, without warranty of any kind. Nothing on it is legal, medical, financial, or political advice. If you find a mistake, tell us and it will be corrected under the editorial policy.
7. Newsletter and contact
Subscribing to the newsletter or writing to us is governed by the privacy page. You may unsubscribe at any time from the link in any message.
8. Conduct
Do not attempt to disrupt the site, harvest its content by automated means beyond ordinary search-engine indexing, or use the contact and subscription forms to send anything other than genuine messages and your own address.
9. Liability
To the extent the law allows, the publisher is not liable for any loss arising from the use of the site or from reliance on anything in it. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid to use the site, which for the reference and the tools is nothing.
10. Changes and law
These terms may change; the date at the top changes with them. They are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which the publisher is established, and disputes are heard in its courts.
