Cultural invasion can be broadcast through technology to render people passive spectators

Evidence

In cultural invasion the actors (who need not even go personally to the invaded culture; increasingly, their action is carried out by technological instruments) superimpose themselves on the people, who are assigned the role of spectators, of objects. In cultural synthesis, the actors become integrated with the people, who are coauthors of the action that both perform upon the world. — Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, 580
