Mark Zuckerberg Says Biden Administration Pressured Meta To Censor Covid Content, In Gift To House Republicans


Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg told the House Judiciary Committee in a letter that the White House pressured the social media giant to censor some Covid-19 content but it wouldn't do that now.

Facebook and other platforms demoted or killed a 2020 New York Post story about data found in a laptop that Hunter Biden had left to be repaired. Our position has been clear and consistent: we believe tech companies and other private actors should take into account the effects their actions have on the American people, while making independent choices about the information they present.” His letter also said that his family foundation the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative will not donate to election integrity efforts in the upcoming race like it did — to the tune of $400 million — in 2020.
