Does it ("social media influencing elections->government should step in") also apply to traditional media ?


Both "social media" and "traditional media" are called "media", but it's not really the same thing. I assume by traditional media you mean something like newspapers or whatever, but social media is more akin to a telephone company, as it's a mean of communication between people. If a telephone company was just censoring anything they don't like then my answer would be yes. But to take your question literally, no, I don't think it's necessary.
