The establishment has been in a total freak out since they couldn't control the message and lost the election. They already had 98% of all tv stations, and newspapers.
Facebook, Google, Twitter, and now Mozilla (probably a lot more) have now said they want to control what other people can talk about/hear. Youtube/google have been in a war to try to silence right leaning youtubers since the election. Podcasts are next I'd wager.
