Sounds like the same system Facebook is implementing in response to the fake "fake news" stories.

Too convenient and the term can be way subjective.

"fake news" for who? For the Chinese government?

For the company that denies that their new phone explodes?

This is getting very ugly

it's "fake" for whoever pays or can influence the most.

Not really a shadow ban for fake news. They know as soon as they look at Analytics.
