I guess in part, it depends how we define their use of the term 'mind control'. The term was used during the pandemic as governments admitted to using mind control techniques in propaganda to impact public behaviour. I doubt the implication is to have full access to a persons complex thought and function. There could be external influences though that affect people's responses to stimulus though, such as being more susceptible to their propaganda by using specific broadcast methods that tap into the subconscious mind.
