The attendee identified as Laura Loomer heckled Dorsey during the conference in Miami and accused him of being a 'giant hypocrite about censorship and freedom of speech.

Following her gimmick, Laura was quickly escorted out, reported Meaww.
Twitter banned Laura back in 2018 after she posted a tweet about Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar. In her tweet, Laura mentioned that Omar, one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress, was "anti-Jewish" and that her religion pushed homophobia and abuse of women.
Laura had registered her protest against getting banned from the platform by handcuffing herself to the glass doors leading into Twitter's Manhattan headquarters. "It's almost as if Twitter hates Jews and conservatives. When is Jack Dorsey going to stop censoring conservatives? When am I going to get my Twitter back? I'll be here as long as it takes, " she said, reported Meaww.
Twitter raged with reactions over Laura Loomer's heckling of Twitter CEO over censorship issues. While some agreed with Laura's stance, some condemned her act.
Jack Dorsey's address at Bitcoin 2021 conference comes after he openly advocated support for the cryptocurrency saying that it “changes everything for the better.” He also added that he along with the others would "forever" work to improve the cryptocurrency saying that “no single person or institution will be able to change it (cryptocurrency) or stop it."
