WASHINGTON—Meta Platforms META -1.30%decrease; red down pointing triangle Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg said it was improper for the Biden administration to have pressured Facebook to censor content in 2021 related to the coronavirus pandemic, vowing that the social-media giant would reject any such future efforts.

Zuckerberg also said he didn’t plan to repeat efforts to fund nonprofits to assist in state election efforts, a Covid-era push that had drawn Republican criticism and sparked many Republican-leaning states to ban the practice.

Is this the same Mark Zuckerberg who donated $419 million to a couple of non-profit organizations in 2020, which then selectively donated to local government Get Out The Vote scams in heavily Democratic counties?

If a Republican philanthropist had done the same thing, he would be up to his ears in civil and criminal law suits.

It is possible his ego is in a very stuck place knowing he is not popular at all & given very little press.

Maybe this is his public makeover to be as popular as Elon Musk. Both are very competitive.

Imo Duck is vain , cold, impersonal and always willing to do govt bidding to secure his place in society media.

He didn’t have to do what he did ,this admittance only proves he is a liar

In other words:

It’s not my fault that I willfully and knowingly conspired with individuals in the FBI to make millions and millions of Dollars in Illegal In-Kind political contributions in the 2020 election.
