One of the better ideas I have heard of how social media companies can deal with state organs is to ban accounts tied to governments that don't allow free access to said social media site. If normal Chinese citizens can't post to Twitter/FB, the CCP shouldn't either.

Global Times is a propaganda organ of the Chinese Communist Party. They are using this crisis to sell the world on the benefits of their control of the Chinese people.
Americans are amplifying this along with unconfirmed stories of the PRC quickly building hospitals. Don't. pic.twitter.com/F6ujOdirFC

They generate a lot of engagement and according to the number of reported "likes," enjoy a lot of reach. Think pulling them from platforms you mentioned would ever happen?

Aggressive labeling and cutting them off from certain features (like advertising) is more likely. Even with blocking, the PRC has leverage in that their companies buy ads that are shown to global consumers. They might threaten that revenue in response to any state media block.

That is a very logical thing to do. But social media companies (or any company for that matter) won't do it because it will hurt their business. Even though their platforms might be banned in the country but they still operate from there (Job Postings - facebook.com/careers/locati…)
