Also regrets ‘demoting’ Biden laptop story
by Katelyn Richardson, Daily Caller
Mark Zuckerberg expressed regret Monday that Facebook caved to pressure by the Biden-Harris administration to censor content.
Zuckerberg admitted in a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan that senior Biden administration officials “repeatedly pressured” Facebook teams to suppress COVID-19 content that the platform otherwise would not have restricted, and expressed frustration when Facebook disagreed. Zuckerberg told Jordan he now feels strongly that the platform should not compromise 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,” Zuckerberg wrote. “I also think we made some choices that, with the benefit of hindsight and new information, we wouldn’t make today.”
Zuckerberg wrote that Facebook is “ready to push back if something like this happens again.”
Zuckerberg also conceded in the letter that the platform should not have censored the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story, noting 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.”
“That fall, when we saw a New York Post story reporting on corruption allegations involving then-Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s family, we sent that story to fact-checkers for review and temporarily demoted it while waiting for a reply,” he wrote. “It’s since been made clear that the reporting was not Russian disinformation, and in retrospect, we shouldn’t have demoted the story.”
Zuckerberg wrote that the platform “no longer temporarily demotes things in the U.S. while waiting for fact-checkers.”
The Supreme Court ruled in June that states and individual plaintiffs who challenged the Biden administration’s efforts to censor speech did not have standing because they could not establish a clear link between the government’s pressure and the platform’s actions.
“The plaintiffs rely on allegations of past Government censorship as evidence that future censorship is likely,” Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote in the Murthy v. Missouri majority opinion. “But they fail, by and large, to link their past social-media restrictions to the defendants’ communications with the platforms. Thus, the events of the past do little to help any of the plaintiffs establish standing to seek an injunction to prevent future harms.”
Documents obtained from the lawsuit revealed the extent of the government’s efforts, which included the Center for Disease Control (CDC) flagging posts for removal and the White House asking companies to censor specific individuals over vaccine-related speech, including Tucker Carlson and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

There will never be an end to the covid kill shot scam demic.
He is admitting to something we already know. He can come clean all he wants but he didn’t care. if he did, he would not have flooded states that could cheat with Zuckerbucks with the intention to enable the Commiecrats to cheat and throw the election to the Commiecrats. He knew exactly what he was doing. He is the definition of a Domestic Enemy.
Every little thing they do is to undermine the Constitution. They know exactly what they are doing. The founders gave us in the means of not allowing them to take the Constitution and the Bill of Rights from us. It’s called the 2nd Amendment.
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene: “Ultimately, the truth is it’s our Second Amendment rights, our right to bear arms, that protects Americans and gives us the ability to defend ourselves from a tyrannical government,” she said. “And I hate to use this language, but Democrats, they’re doing exactly what our Founders talked about when they gave us the precious rights that we have.”
Doesn’t this show that Zuckerberg doesn’t have a mind of his own? If he didn’t cave in, what would be the punishment—not being elected to some post? If he caved in fo this, he can be bought by anyone.
Now, who or what operation created Zuckerberg.
Facebook was DARPA’s creation. That should tell everyone everything they need to know !
But, But everyone has to get a like on Facebook! People are so shallow these days they don’t understand that the social media they are supporting is an arm of the democratic party and corrupt media that’s destroying their rights, censoring the truth and undermining our elections. But they love Facebook.
Has Mark Zuckerberg seen the light, or is he getting a little nervous about a Trump 47
taking the reigns, and there will be a new marshal in town !!
I guess Zuckerberg doesn’t fear the current administration, he’ll spill his guts as he knows he won’t do good in the big house, and I’m not talking about a new mansion.
The truth will set you free, and we will get to the truth.
It’s swing time, Baby.
What’s Zuck got to worry about, maybe he knows the fate, the demise of the new progressive communist democrat party that he proudly embellishes, hey wokesters, (is that even a word), time to wake up, or time to take a nappy?
Short answer to has Zuck seen the light, no he’s a weasel with no backbone. He’s also dangerous to a free America just like Bill Gates, Soros, Google, Tik Tok and all the others. They are all eccentric and have way to much wealth for their manipulation of the population and the world through media.
Zuckerberg is just insincerely hedging his bets for the election, which is actually something of a white pill.
If he rolled over under Bidens pressure, I’d bet dollars to donuts he’d easily roll over, and over, and over, for those in prison, seeking a butt boy,when he is sentenced to do hard time, for treason, for destroying our countries election process.
