There's an amusing irony to AOC asking (https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1347679332014161920) for Parler to be banned from the Google and Apple app stores when she personally participated in an illegal raid on the capitol in 2018 that also ended up at Pelosi's office (https://theintercept.com/2018/11/13/alexandria-ocasio-cortez...). Somehow there's no calls to ban her from Twitter or to ban The Guardian's app for running articles that excused and applauded that riot by just calling it "youthful zest" (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/mar/17/nancy-...).

It is incredible that people who have benefited from America's free society are now so ready to give up their commitment to the principles of free speech as soon as they get a taste of power through their monopolistic tech/social media platforms.
