Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted Monday that the Biden administration pressured Facebook to censor COVID-19 content and acknowledged it was wrong to stifle The Post’s coverage of Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop.

In an explosive letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Zuckerberg wrote that “senior Biden administration officials, including the White House, repeatedly pressured” Meta to “censor” content related to the coronavirus pandemic in 2021.

The content the Biden administration requested that Meta take down included “humor and satire,” according to the Facebook founder, and he said he regrets complying with certain demands.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Yeah. Right.

F*ck Z*ck.

I tried to post two links to peer reviewed articles in the NIH library (NIH website), and the bots labelled that as "misinformation".

Your crapola website would not let me refer to cheaper gas prices during the "Trump" Administration, unto I changed "Trump" to "previous".

You suck, Zuck.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

EVERYBODY IS MISSING THE SCANDAL, THE BOMBSHELL, IN THE ZUCKERBERG LETTER.

-The scandal ISN'T that President Biden pressured Facebook to censor info about a pandemic. Americans will give Biden the benefit of the doubt and assume he was trying to keep them safe.

The scandal the right-wing punditry is totally missing is the paragraph from the middle of the letter. It is that the FBI pressured Facebook to censor the story about a laptop containing proof of the crimes of candidate Biden and his family (bribery, tax evasion, acting as an unregistered foreign agent) to help Biden win. That IS a scandal. Election interference. Especially since Zuckerberg is all but saying here that the FBI lied to Facebook ,and that they changed their policies because of it.

-Making this scandal even more horrific is that the FBI had this laptop in their possession since 2019 because it was part of a money laundering investigation into Hunter Biden. The FBI censorship request to Facebook wasn't until 2020.

In other words, the FBI knew damn well it wasn't Russian disinformation, but was instead damaging information about the crimes of the President's family in concert with America's worst enemies and they lied to and used Facebook and other social media to cover it up in order to help Biden get away with those crimes, and win election DESPITE them.

-Think how you'd feel if you were Zuckerberg and you later learned you'd been had like this by the FBI. It might start to eat at you. You might feel like a fool. You certainly look like one compared to Elon Musk.

-Today, incredibly, that same DOJ/FBI somehow retains the credibility to indict Trump again 69 days before an election. It's because we let them retain it by failing to report these scandalous stories correctly.

The person at Kamala and Biden's White House who was responsible for getting Facebook to censor the free speech of Americans was former Director of Digital Strategy Rob Flaherty. He's now Kamala's Deputy Campaign Manager.

Would you consume meat that was not USDA inspected?  Then, why would you consume information that has not been UDGB inspected?

Mmmmm ... UDGB Inspected Grade A Prime truth.  It's what's for dinner.

He really does. I loathe Facebook.

I haven't used Facebook since about 2012.  I loathe Facebook as well.

Yes to the first. I have. USDA doesn't inspect wild game. It's up to the hunter to check for anomalies when field dressing and skinning. If it doesn't look right, don't eat it.
We discarded an entire deer (left it for the coyotes) than had been wounded and healed but was obviously suffering from major sepsis once the hide came off.
