A Democratic candidate for a seat in the Georgia House of Representatives said supporters of President Donald Trump should not be allowed to post anything online for four years.

Suzanna Karatassos is running for a Georgia House seat currently held by Republican state Rep. Houston Gaines, who is himself running for the U.S. House seat held by Republican Rep. Mike Collins. Karatassos, who calls herself a “progressive fighter” on her Instagram page, said in a since-deleted video that when Democrats begin “rebuilding” America, Trump supporters should face “punishment” for their votes.

“When this is all over and Trump’s gone and Democrats are back in charge and we’re rebuilding everything, the punishment for MAGA for voting for Trump three times needs to be they remove their internet access for four years,” Karatassos said. “That they cannot post videos or comments on social media for four straight years, so that none of us are subjected to their lies and misinformation while we are rebuilding the chaos that they caused the whole world and America gets to be without their BS online for 4 straight years.”

“Can we all agree to this?” she concluded in the video, which was shared on social media by other users after the candidate deleted the original.

The Biden administration pressured tech companies to censor conservative voices on multiple issues. United States District Judge Terry A. Doughty of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana issued an injunction in July 2023 prohibiting Biden administration officials across multiple agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Health and Human Services, from contacting social media companies to push for “the removal, deletion, suppression, or reduction of content containing protected free speech.”

Doughty listed 25 instances where social media companies either censored or were pressured to censor by the Biden administration, according to a thread on X posted by Justin Hart, author of the Covid Reasoning newsletter on Substack. The Supreme Court ultimately overturned Doughty’s ruling in a 6-3 decision saying Missouri, Louisiana, and five individual plaintiffs lacked standing to challenge the censorship regime, with Associate Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch dissenting.

Tucker Carlson, a co-founder of the Daily Caller and Daily Caller News Foundation, was among those targeted for censorship by the Biden administration in an April 14, 2021 email from White House Director of Digital Strategy Rob Flaherty to an unidentified Facebook employee. In it, the White House demanded the company censor Carlson’s video about vaccines that was released in January of that year.
