Why are you giving it that title? She has a valid point.

I think they’re mocking the authoritarian left who are suddenly taking the libertarian stance when it comes to tech monopolies censoring people.

I got that. I'm just saying that the OP is using the trope improperly. "Muh x" is used to ridicule people who have an obsession with x. The group being ridiculed (authoritarian left) isn't obsessed with private companies; it's quite the opposite.
