I've said for years that abuse of presidential power is a bipartisan practice. It's why I despise Democrats as much as Republicans. Nobody actually cares about legitimate constraints on executive power - they just want it to be wholly constrained when the other tribe controls the White House and wholly unconstrained when their own tribe occupies the Oval Office. And they'll never understand why it can't work that way.

"Biden’s task force would turn online speech into Orwellian “unspeech,” something that looks like speech but doesn’t deserve the free-speech protections of the First Amendment."

You have too much freedom, and we can't let a little thing like the First Amendment stand in the way of making you confirm to our notions of rightness.

And you Democrats know damn well rat a Republican administration would keep and weaponize this tool against its enemies (just as the Dems will).
