Zuckerberg claims he ‘regrets’ censoring Americans under ‘pressure’ from Biden-Harris admin
By News Editors // Aug 29, 2024

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg confirmed in a letter to the House Judiciary Committee on Monday that he was "repeatedly pressured" to censor Americans on behalf of the Biden-Harris administration but said he now "regrets" going along with it.

"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," he said in the letter. "Ultimately, it was our decision whether or not to take content down, and we own our decisions, including COVID-19-related changes we made to our enforcement in the wake of this pressure."

"I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it," he continued. "I also think we made some choices that, with the benefit of hindsight and new information, we wouldn't make today. Like I said to our teams at the time, I feel strongly that we should not compromise our content standards due to pressure from any Administration in either direction -- and we're ready to push back if something like this happens again."

Zuckerberg also said he should not have suppressed the reach of the NY Post's story on the Hunter Biden leak and wants to be neutral in the upcoming election.

How much of this is genuine is anyone's guess. Facebook has fallen off a cliff in recent years under heavy-handed censorship and last I heard is now overflowing with AI-generated garbage.

Meanwhile, Musk's X with its relatively lax censorship is taking off and is now bigger than Instagram in the US.

I don't know if Zuckerberg started taking testosterone or not but he's clearly changed his look in recent years and is trying to appeal more to the right.

Unless he actually backs off on censorship and scraps his "Dangerous Organizations and Individuals" list everything he says should be considered empty rhetoric.
