In a letter addressed to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg disclosed that the Biden-Harris administration exerted pressure on his company—comprising Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp—to censor certain free speech from social media users during the COVID pandemic.
He wrote the following:
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. Like I said to our teams at the time, I feel strongly that we should not compromise our content standards due to pressure from any Administration in either direction — and we’re ready to push back if something like this happens again…
Zuckerberg assured Jordan that Meta would maintain a neutral stance in future international events, avoid any actions that could be perceived as biased, and refrain from making political contributions in the future.
DML slammed Zuckerberg for his complicity in censoring Americans who had questions about COVID, its lethality, and the vaccine. Check out his remarks below on yesterday’s podcast:
I think Mr FB (Zuck) is evil, anti-American, & the worst CEO alive. I think he stole FB from his pals, then stole $ from advertisers (me), then censored us all. He let users data be stolen. Now he admits he censored info about Covid. I think he caused death. He should be sued! pic.twitter.com/XhMEq7gYZg
