Two years ago Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted to Joe Rogan that the FBI pressured Facebook into censoring the Hunter Biden laptop story.
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.'
What will Jim Jordan do with this information?
Zuckerberg also said that Facebook shouldn't have censored the NY Post's Hunter Biden laptop story - and said that the FBI had warned the platform "about a potential Russian disinformation operation about the Biden family and Burisma in the lead up to the 2020 election."
"I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it," reads the letter.
Speaking of demoting stories, Facebook began censoring ZeroHedge in 2019 - with links to our articles met with a popup that said "the link you tried to visit goes against our community standards."
"It’s since been made clear that the reporting was not Russian disinformation, and in retrospect, we shouldn’t have demoted the story."
