False.
While there have been laws and regulations that promote transparency and require the state to disclose certain information to the media and the public (such as Freedom of Information Acts in various countries), it is not accurate to say that the state has always been legally compelled to divulge information continuously from the 1940s until today. The extent and nature of transparency obligations have varied over time and across different jurisdictions, with many instances of limited access to information or government discretion in disclosure.
