Problem: social networks are increasingly building themselves around "journalistic" or "media" companies. These companies can lean on their political alignment to vindicate themselves when things go sour with the network. Easy to turn this into a campaign against "mainstream" media AKA whoever isn't getting banned.

Solution: No idea, but it's interesting to see this play out around media orgs instead of like, actual users who might have an opinion. Alex Jones is a strong face for InfoWars, but the whole thing is a media company.
