I think most of the time, the news is pretty accurate. It gets muddied when they start giving opinion or trying to slant the stories. I don't think the gov should decide what's on social media with some exceptions. Those exerceptions being those things that are felonies.

Slander against a public figure is a high hurdle. I'm unaware of Trump being threatened by violent acts?

It doesn't mentoned the political affiliation of those making the threats. It does say the number of threats are normal and all are investigated.

Sexual abuse and violence?
Kind of hard to abuse someone on-line

Cyber bullying
Same thing

Fraud and libel
The person can pursue legal remedies for that.

In the early days of radio, the operators asked the Federal government to step in and regulate radio. Television asked to be included. Such regulations have not been applied to the internet, nor satellite radio.
