So why didn't they crackdown on this type of content back in the Obama administration when the threat of political blowback also wasn't there?

  What type of content?

    The same type of right wing nonsense they are going after now. This type of stuff was all over Reddit/FB/Twitter back then. (Remember all the nutty Obama conspiracy theories?) Surely advertisers back then didn't want to appear next to that content anymore than they want to now.

      It's been a while, but I can't say I recall calls to violence, much less ones that were acted on, back then. Of course, I wasn't paying as much attention. Birtherism (which was trump led for a while) was lighter weight than q and the more recent stuff.
