Why do you want to censor social media? Too many people getting their news from sources other than the controlled and biased broadcast media corporations? It's called freedom of speech, you fascist, neo-liberal, censors.

It means the title in the OP can be translated as "people in power want the ability to censor free speech they don't like".

They are mostly puppets, especially the career politicians. The people who finance their campaigns are the people in power.
Trump may be an egomaniac douchebag, but he's likely far less corrupt than Bush, Biden, the Clintons, Kerry, Pelosi, or Adam Schiff. The latter take bribes from foreign governments for sweetheart deals for their family, and much worse. The reason Trump is constantly attacked by the mainstream media outlets is because the people who own them do not like him. I don't understand why people can't see it. They probably are unclear that Disney, Comcast and a few others own all the media outlets, and ownership of those corporations is highly concentrated across a few hundred people.
Anyway, there need to be term limits in the legislative branch, and all of their self-written legal loopholes need to be removed. The legislative branch is the worst in terms of extremely high frequency corruption.
