Semantic douche question: does that include telling someone to shut up?
I doubt it. Being told to shut up neither restricts nor limits your ability to keep responding. Even spamming you back with shut up messages wouldn't do that.
Sure. But who were they asking and what were they asking for? Biden's aides did not tell Facebook users to shut up, nor did they ask Facebook to tell their users to shut up. That would have been useless.
What they were asking was specifically for the removal and/or shadowbanning of posts and people. That would be what's targeted by this EO.
Your speech rights and your ability to exercise them are not at risk if someone just tells you to shut up.
