#1 I thought, as an American, that saying Gleichschaltung sounded like clearing the throat of a particularly thick coating of phlegm...
Not a policy that a 'public carrier', a supposedly neutral conduit of communication should be indulging in. During the Spanish Civil War the Spanish affiliate of AT&T ran the telephones in a remarkably neutral fashion, as an example of being apolitical.

#2 TW, can you translate
"we’re always trying to cultivate more of a learning mindset and help guide people back towards healthier behaviors and healthier public conversation."
into Deutsch?

#3 Here’s how I would try, g(r)omgoru, but understand that back when we lived in that part of the world my German interlocutors (Gespraechpartneren) often found my efforts suggestive of a local with serious brain damage. So:

Wir versuchen immer ein Lerngedank kultivieren um verbessertete Gesundsleben und Gemeinschaftphilosophie zu machen.

But wordhippo.com came up with the following, which feels much more correct:

"Wir versuchen immer mehr, eine Lernmentalität zu entwickeln und Menschen dabei zu helfen, gesünderes Verhalten und gesündere öffentliche Gespräche zu führen."

Why do you ask, my dear?
