Which has already happened on on western social media. I wouldn’t be surprised to read FB has a policy of deleting the ‘leaked’ information and subsequent pages because an authoritative source (seeded by the government and/or at the will of some random uninformed employee) claims its fake news or some unsubstantiated claim or it’s some ‘terrorist’ group or something. Since only expert verified news from pet western sources are fully allowed to post anything controversial.

This seems to be the direction we’re moving towards.

Their only saving grace is that it’s in a fringe political system that not enough people care about. Or maybe the opposite, there won’t be enough counter outrage to handle the gov organized information suppression networks set up during some past emotionally volatile times without thinking of how easy it will be to abuse.

FB has been only slightly better in this context, by not being stupid enough to interfere with politics of random countries, which might explain the ban.
