I don't think implementing our own Great Firewall is the direction I'd want to see from the alleged bastion of freedom and democracy.
A destroy-on-sight policy for unauthorized drones in restricted airspaces seems like a good enough solution for this problem without online censorship. Don't want your expensive drone blown to smithereens? Don't fly it where you ain't supposed to be flying it.
(And on the flip-side, the FAA and other authorities need to provide real-time public access to maps of those restricted areas - which I wouldn't be surprised if they're already doing, but still)

They're referring to the new administration, so pivoting away from this designation.
Hence "alleged".
