Are they doing to do something about authors using Arxiv to publish propaganda/opinion pieces but presented as research?

ArXiv gives the appearance of scientific credibility that a blog post wouldn't have so I'm seeing the platform get abused.

Probably not because the whole point is they don't do critical review

That's an error on your side not theirs
