A platform labels posts and removes some content after elections; what change in gatekeeping is illustrated?
A
Shift from traditional newsroom gatekeeping to platform moderation, where private companies set visibility rules, raising debates about speech, bias, and accountability.
B
A restoration of print-era gatekeeping because platform labels are written by local editors, making social media essentially identical to newspapers.
C
Technological determinism: content moderation guarantees political neutrality and social harmony, regardless of enforcement consistency or users' incentives to evade rules.
D
Only positive effects: moderation always increases trust and participation, eliminating misinformation without any tradeoffs involving transparency or over-removal concerns.
E
Conflating media types: platform moderation is the same as constitutional law, so companies must follow the First Amendment exactly like Congress does.
