This is scarily close to what China does.
In China, the government doesn't really care about people complaining about politicians and the government online. However, if there's even a hint of a protest, out come the censors and posts get deleted rapidly.
They've gone so far as to ban Weibo accounts with influential amounts of followers.
When I read that US law enforcement is working with Facebook to mitigate protests, it seems like they're playing catchup using tactics not dissimilar to China. This is incredibly concerning given the importance of protests in a Democracy.
