I believe the derp state begin to enact their plans to censor the net some time around 2010, and they begin to crack down on threats to those plans around 2013. The purpose of this thread is to create a timeline of the following:
1. Suspicious deaths, suicides, and arrests of major players in tech, finance, and journalism or of any celebs/ecelebs.
2. The acquisitions of social media companies, News Organizations, and tech companies.
3. Major legislation regarding the internet, news, or finance.
4. Major events in the financial sector.
5. Crack downs and shilling efforts across the net.
Please provide sources.

Facebook begins to crack down on "hate speech"
>Following a campaign by 100 advocacy groups, Facebook agreed to update its policy on hate speech. The campaign highlighted content promoting domestic and sexual violence against women, and used over 57,000 tweets and more than 4,900 emails that caused withdrawal of advertising from the site by 15 companies, including Nissan UK, House of Burlesque and Nationwide UK. The social media website initially responded by stating that "while it may be vulgar and offensive, distasteful content on its own does not violate our policies".[90] It decided to take action on May 29, 2013, after it "become clear that our systems to identify and remove hate speech have failed to work as effectively as we would like, particularly around issues of gender-based hate."[91]
2014
>In February 2014, Facebook announced that it would be buying mobile messaging company WhatsApp for US$19 billion in cash and stock
2015
Facebook begins to filter "fake news"
>As of January 21, 2015, Facebook's algorithm is programmed to filter out false or misleading content, such as fake news stories and hoaxes, and will be supported by users who select the option to flag a story as "purposefully fake or deceitful news". According to Reuters, such content is "being spread like a wildfire" on the social media platform. Facebook maintained that "satirical" content, "intended to be humorous, or content that is clearly labeled as satire," will be taken into account and should not be intercepted.[110] The algorithm, however, has been accused of maintaining a "filter bubble", where both material the user disagrees with[111] and posts with a low level of likes, will also not be seen.[112]

Thanks for this post. How would you broadly categorise the situation? I would see it as, 1) the controllers, 2) the anarchists, and 3) the easily played. As the three broad categories.
1) is the deep state/mega corps even if that transitions from one group to another, capitalism just means those who acquire wealth = power over 3)
2) is the hackers, the leakers. Enemies of 1) and appealing to 3)
3) is everyone else along for the ride, following the next piece of titillation as they sleepwalk through life lead by the nose.
I ask this because any research needs a skeleton conceptualisation to drop the pieces into. Time lining as you have done is one type of skeleton.
Your timeline needs to include the dramatic impact of 4chan/pol/ on the US election. At it's farthest extreme those /pol/ fags might end up starting a war against evil groups that have been powerful for thousands of years!
Kek isn't finished yet.

It begins earlier and coincides with the latter trend on focus of Islamic terrorism. Islamic terrorism is a controlled opposition tied to the elite Arab nations, of course meaning backing from Israel. A problem is set up to gain power all the while the problem is not being solved until sufficient power is met. A dual edged sword.

1) Is the deep state/elite and their goons.
2) Is foreign actors such as Russia and China. It may be in their interests just to stir shit up. (I'm not suggesting Russia hacked the election, but there is evidence that they have given support to "Far right parties") https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/dec/08/russia-europe-right-putin-front-national-eu
3) Elites who's interests conflict with the interests of the deep state.
4) Think SJWs and Antifa
5) Anyone who is aware of what is going on and seeks to stop it.
6) Self Explanatory
