. @AOC has repeatedly demanded that Twitter & Facebook block circulation of hashtags, & even her old tweets.

This is a politician asking corporations to limit speech so that people are a) unable to criticize her and b) she is not held accountable for her own words. https://twitter.com/Fiorella_im/status/1357184339289669632
After Jan 6, her comms director was trying to get Twitter to memory-hole a tweet where AOC said "the whole point of protesting is to make ppl uncomfortable." https://twitter.com/LaurenHitt/status/1346948829950705667?s=20
