Do you have any additional reading on this? I've always been interested in these topics of social network topology or systems theory or what have you but struggle to find good information on it.
Yay! Social physics :) There's a great Authors at Google talk by Sandy Pentland, about his book of the same name. Gives a good overview of the book, but 100% still worth a read after watching, esp if you are someone who works with (or would like to work with) large groups of people -- event organizing, companies, community, group facilitation, etc.
Just enforce a shape of the social fabric instead of worrying about specific content within that social fabric. Maintain edge quotas, not information quotas. We have tons of research on what are "healthier" shapes of network topology than what we've built.
