I think we're in the phase a phase 2 kind of place. In phase 1, right wingers leveraged accessibility and the ability to megaphone even the most obscure messages and then amplify them via anonymous Facebook, twitter, etc accounts.

Now that phase 1 is complete (i.e. the "right folks" in position of power), it's time to pull up the informational ladders and control every element of the message. The internet is the enemy of fascism...what's the first thing authoritarians do when "the masses" rise up...they shut down twitter. No different than WWII when "disrupting communication centers" was always part of the early battle strategy.
