They can block lies and disinformation unilaterally, it shouldn't just apply to one political party or the other.
"Don't let XXX News lie to you, I Just won the election!"
This kind of nonsense shouldn't be tolerated either way.
Personally... I think the whole model of "Viral" content is just absolutely broken. The kind of content it encourages is by nature inflammatory and often damaging.
