Definition Confusion

Consider this Reuters story:

Film archives showcase classics of nanny state
In a blast back to an era when the government lectured its citizens on everything from blowing their noses to how to ride a bus, the National Archives will put 60 public information films online dating back to 1945.
So if it was a "nanny state" when they made instructional films -- what is it when they pass laws? Dictananny State?
