Deplatforming Threat Against Sitting Member of Congress and Congressional Candidate (GA)

The EIP identified and flagged core political speech from Georgia Representative Jody Hice (EIP-904) and congressional candidate Marjorie Taylor Greene (EIP-780). Rep. Hice’s post directly criticizing Georgia’s election administration procedures – a textbook instance of protected legislative political speech – was targeted for suppression. Twitter subsequently labeled a significant portion of Rep. Greene’s posts as “misleading” under EIP pressure. The use of a federally initiated censorship pipeline to suppress speech by sitting Members of Congress and federal candidates implicates the most heightened tier of First Amendment protection.
