(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.”

Zuck said “pressured”. Misleading headline said “forced.” They are not the same.
I think you have it backwards. The WEFtsrd globohomos are dictating to our government and American firms what they can and cannot publish, even in the US. This is much more horrifying.
We need names...
Yes, the new word on the block is "malinformation" - things that are true which, if known, would turn the sheep away from their masters.
The word is all over the EU as something to ruthlessly suppress. I'm sure it will show up here soon, if it hasn't already.
If your aunt had balls she'd be your uncle.
That was my take as well.
Sounds like Zuckerfuk thinks Trump gonna win. Expecting pushback when they lie their asses off, so he’s just maneuvering to counter.
FBI needs to come down to a house committee and tell us who they are firing and prosecuting for this.
Forced my butt...willingly.
How much of this is because of Musk and the now free speech X? If all social media sites participated in the censorship, then none would have an advantage. When one breaks ranks either the government will “have to” crush it or the other social media sites will have to compete on freedom.
If Republicans didn’t the world,
The media, Antifa, BLM, would scream
FASCISM
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.
I agree on both
Getting help from the British, too. That is where many of the “fact checkers” worked from. Not that that means they were very English.
If the corrupt running government don’t put Trump in a cage or kill him first, he’s going to win big!
Charge him and throw him in a cell until he coughs up the evidence. Unless he has evidence that he was forced to, he and the executives alone are perpetrators of the crimes.
Puss Zuckerberg passing the buck all he had to do is post a few commits from the feds to expose them but he lacks the stones and sucks up to them.
The commies are in control now.
Article 182: Election fraud
Penalty: Up to 10 years imprisonment
So Why is he telling us now?
I wish I knew how to email Zuckerberg directly. They kicked me off Facebook for either Hunter Biden posts or Covid-19 posts. If I could email him, I’d ask him to restore my account. Only to access my family.
