“I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it,” said the Meta CEO in a letter.
Meta chief executive Mark Zuckerberg has alleged that Facebook was “pressured” by the Biden administration to censor COVID-19 content during the pandemic and regrets falling to those demands.
On Aug. 26, the tech billionaire sent a letter to Jim Jordan, chairman of the House Committee on the Judiciary, regarding concerns about content moderation on social media platforms in an ongoing investigation.
He claimed that senior officials from the Biden Administration “repeatedly pressured” the company to censor certain COVID-19 information “including humor and satire” in 2021.
