Mark Zuckerberg is handing Republicans political victories ahead of the 2024 presidential election, acquiescing to years of GOP grievances over his company’s policies.
In recent days, the Meta chief executive has made newsworthy public statements implicitly supporting right-wing “censorship” narratives and offered praise for Donald Trump as “badass” – even as he claimed he wanted to appear “neutral” and nonpartisan.
On Monday, Zuckerberg sent a letter to the powerful House Judiciary Committee, stating that the Biden administration had “pressured” Meta to “censor” content during the pandemic.
“In 2021, senior officials from the Biden Administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire, and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn’t agree,” Zuckerberg said.
The Meta chief added that the pressure he felt was “wrong” and he came to “regret” that his company, the parent of Facebook and Instagram, was not more outspoken.
The letter was immediately weaponized by Trump, who used it to once again promote the lie that the 2020 election was stolen.
“Zuckerberg admits that the White House pushed to SUPPRESS HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP STORY (& much more!) IN OTHER WORDS, THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WAS RIGGED,” he wrote on his Truth Social platform on Tuesday morning, after Zuckerberg’s letter became public.

If he admits under oath that the Biden campaign pressured him into suppressing information that would have directly had an effect on the 2020 election that’s kinda not a gift that’s Mark not wanting to commit perjury.
I have to admit though I think he would endorse Trump if he could
“Narrative”
I doubt they understand that if the Democrats get their way, they won't need the MSM any more. They won't have power to sell unless there is a threat of losing it.
Gift? Don’t expect anyone to do anything with it.
They are trying to hide having been complicit in many Big Big LIES!
I thought Zucker HIRED a bunch of CIA folks? Was he forced to hire them?
If he's a Patriot, he needs to be charged for perjury.
After hes tried for his crimes and if he shows remorse, then it's up to Trump to pardon him.
fakebook...
This is big time election interference. Also the FBI telling Zuck that the Hunter laptop was Russian disinformation so when it finally breaks in the NY Post he probably thought ‘it must be correct!’
He gave Trump a gift by speaking the truth?
“... [Zuckerberg] acquiescing to years of GOP grievances over his company’s policies.”
Is that like admitting the GOP was right?
It looks that way.
Mark Z. can confess to anything under the sun, after the fact. Everybody knows he is unlikely to suffer any consequence for it. Republicans such as Jim Jordan may even decide to open an “investigation” about it. I doubt it Mark would lose any sleep over it. I would love to be wrong about that.
I just can’t believe how insane the mockingbird media is. Completely one-sided propaganda. Thanks to barry for allowing the cia to transmit propaganda to the american people. A non-NBC muslim communist usurper that destroyed america.
Then why would he confess now? He could wait until the election is over
He probably found out somebody else was just about to break the news.
“acquiescing”?
Hey asshole. How about finally CONFESSING what the Democrats were directing him to do?
It’s called FASCISM!
This is a man who partnered with Obama. He’s no conservative.
I suspect he’s trying to avoid some sort of legal issues.
I despise the media with every cell and atom in my body, yet still don’t despise as much as I should. Instead of being upset that the Harris/Biden admin violated the 1st Amendment, they’reupset that it might benefit the Republicans.
