(Zero Hedge)—Two years ago Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted to Joe Rogan that the FBI pressured Facebook into censoring the Hunter Biden laptop story.
Now he’s participating in a Congressional investigation.
In a stunning Monday evening letter to House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, Zuckerberg admitted that senior Biden administration officials “repeatedly pressured” Facebook teams to suppress information related to COVID-19 that the platform would not have otherwise censored – and the administration ‘expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn’t agree.’
Zuck now says that Facebook should not have compromised its standards “due to pressure from any Administration in either direction.”
“I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it,” reads the letter. “I also think we made some choices that, with the benefit of hindsight and new information, we wouldn’t make today.”
He’s also committed and “ready to push back if something like this happens again.”

What about the White House? Is this "official Duties" to suppress the truth about Covid, or was it Political based.
Not only to censor content but to knowingly fact check things that were true as if they were false.
Reporting on network news in...........(crickets)
they made me do
the things i wanted to do
poor baby
This oligarch prick Zuckerberg is trying to burnish his image before the pitchforks come out for him.
I believe it was attempted manslaughter at the very least. And no, that is not a Presidential duty.
Another example of government putting the squeeze on a big company. When the people constantly fear the government, we no longer live in freedom.
This would be a very serious problem if a Republican administration had done it.
As I posted earlier, if that was the case then why did he donate os many $$$$ to their party?
“forced”
LOL.
To me the big story is hidden just below the surface.
Facebook is an international site.
The notion that a US administration can determine censorship policy for the entire world should terrify everyone.
No wonder so many countries in the world hate our guts.
Election interference.
That isn’t all they suppressed. I know people who were put in FB jail for innocent posts regarding politics.
Therefore biden-harris need to be in federal prison for their crime.
Yes, they just made him do it. 🙄
Soooo
Who has documentation of this? I don’t, other than figuring out Fakebook was shadowing some of my FakeBook posts n I don’t have any documented proof.
Fakebook needs some GOP lawfare action for violating 1st Amendment rights of users. I’m confident violating 1st Amendment rights are not in the Terms of Service, so I’d love to see them fight lawsuits for 10 years.
I wonder if every Facebook user will be receiving a letter of apology and an explanation of what they did, and exactly what and who were censored.
Not holding my breath.
It should be whatever we do to traitors.
The First Amendment says:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
The executive branch is to execute the laws that are duly passed. If the legislative branch cannot make laws abridging the freedom of speech, then the executive branch cannot be faithfully executing the laws if they do so themselves.
The people who are at fault here are the people in the executive branch who violated their oaths to protect and defend the US Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic.
They ALL belong in Gitmo, IMHO. And that is the only thing that will stop this tyrannical crap the nation is currently suffering.
Why didn’t he say so at the time?! Wuss!
