I'm guessing that's a great idea here. Either the censorship fails in a wave of "de-peoplising" memes or whatever, or they're forced to make the rules more and more dragnet until they're transparently fighting their own activists and party members.

Assuming there's not actually much grassroots support for memoryholing the whole situation, anyway.
