7 weeks ago
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted that his company Facebook censored Americans after getting repeatedly pressured by the Biden-Harris administration.
Zuckerberg making the admission that he censored Covid-19 information and the Hunter Biden Laptop story in a letter to Congressman Jim Jordan – as part of the House’s investigation into censorship of conservative speech on online platforms.
He told Jordan that in 2021, it was "senior officials" from the Biden – Harris administration and White House that pressured their teams to censor content, and if they didn’t censor the content, the administration would get frustrated,
"Ultimately, it was our decision whether or not to take content down, and we own our decisions, including COVID-19-related changes we made to our enforcement in the wake of this pressure," Zuckerberg wrote. "I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it.
"I also think we made some choices that, with the benefit of hindsight and new information, we wouldn’t make today," he added. "Like I said to our teams at the time, I feel strongly that we should not compromise our content standards to pressure from any Administration in either direction – and we’re ready to push back if something like this happens."
