Well, I'd say the established media gets away with much more than on social media, but established media is more uniform in their output so it is easier to squash dissenting voices. Also, the movie industry regularly outputs much more extreme content than has appeared on any social media.

In my opinion the real complaint is the old guard against the up and coming media, and they feel threatened and are looking for a way to bring the new media into conformity with their worldview monopoly.

In the video, Sacha mentions the New Zealand mass murder streamed on Facebook[1] and the promotion of explicit holocaust denial and antisemitic propaganda via social media.

These are not examples I see occur in established media without reprisal.

These occur in social media without reprisal?

And it is partly a matter of worldview. I consider abortion to be murder, and it is glamorized across both the news media and in the fictional media. That's why I say the problem is more that the old guard has achieved better uniformity with its output.
