I don't track AOC closely but from what I'm seeing right now, that's not at all what she said yesterday.
On Sunday, the social media platform thanked the incoming president while announcing it was back in the United States.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.)
said Sunday in a series of Instagram story posts that TikTok referring to Donald Trump as “President Trump” while thanking him for helping it restore service in the United States was “a choice,” considering he’s a private citizen and not yet president.

On her Instagram story, Ocasio-Cortez
claimed that TikTok is “signaling that they have agreed to privately collaborate with Donald Trump and the Trump administration” by naming him in its notification.
“And for all of those concerns that people were saying that TikTok is going to be used as a propaganda tool by the Chinese, understand they’re using it as a propaganda tool for the right,” she added.
The New York lawmaker spoke further on that point
in another post, saying that every “mass social media platform in the United States has been taken over by the right wing.” Elon Musk, owner of X, formerly called Twitter; Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta; and Shou Zi Chew, the CEO of TikTok, are set to attend Trump’s inauguration on Monday.
Ocasio-Cortez then ended with a warning to her followers.
“We are on the eve of an authoritarian administration,”
she said. “This is what 21st century fascism is starting to look like.”

And while she did come out against a ban in early 2023, that appears to have been largely because Congress had not yet been briefed, and the classified briefings followed shortly after that. It appears to me the bill that eventually became the law banning TikTok passed the House on a voice vote. Do you have any evidence AOC voted against that bill?
Not that any of this really matters because the bill was passed by large majorities of congresspeople from both parties regardless of what AOC thought about it, but I'm curious.
