Who would be banning the news orgs in countries where the government is captured by them? That captive government?

Why is the public interest best served by the government siding with google/facebook etc over the news orgs themselves?

google and fb should be banning their news sites in countries where governments are captured.

the governments would not be siding with google/facebook but with the public. there is no public interest best served by breaking the nature of linking on the internet.
