This seemed key to me. The managerial/editorial layer is acting in a way that any manager would when there is unclear interpretation: risk-adversity.
It's much easier to do than undo, so you stop until things are cleared up.
However, it seems the organizational layer whose work is being affected is assuming this risk-adverse interpretation is the new policy coming from the top. No doubt, legacy media will take the same interpretation.
If I were to approach this rationally, I would probably want to see clarification before running with the Hitlerian comparisons.
