These accounts are not being taken down because „they want to sow discord“, though, and rightly so: what „sows discord“ is highly subjective and not a good criteria to take anything down.

They are being taken down because they are (allegedly) faking who is behind those accounts (i.e. they are fraudsters with political instead of financial motives).

If those accounts were "authentic" they would also have political motives behind.

The only reason they are taken down is that they are funded by an adversary power, but the American media is controlled by adversaries of the American public too.
