She followed up her tweet with a protective caveat, saying she realizes "this is going to be an unpopular take but seems worth pointing out."
It's common for the Twitter mob to quickly lash out at celebrities who even appear to question criticism or harsh treatment of Trump, and it was no different in Ratajkowski's case:
But a surprising number of others agreed with Ratajkowski:
Ratajkowski also tweeted an explanation for her position, noting that "my concern is that this gives big tech the opportunity to shut down 'leftist extremists' who are important political organizers."
She also wondered if the ease with which rioters stormed Capitol made it "wildly convenient" for big tech to institute "censorship."
Ratajkowski is kind of a mixed bag when it comes to left-wing politics and being a "woke" celebrity.
In October she seemed to climb aboard the gender revolution train, writing in Vogue that she and her husband "won't know the gender" of their baby "until our child is 18" and "they'll let us know then."
And while Ratajkowski publicly backed Democratic socialist presidential candidate Bernie Sanders in 2016 and took some heat for partnering with Planned Parenthood a year earlier, in 2017 she stood up for Melania Trump after a New York Times journalist called the first lady a "hooker."
