ZUCKERBERG NEEDS TO SPILL ALL ON HOW FBI CENSORED AMERICANS

On April 9th, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan sent a letter to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, reminding him of a subpoena in search of communications between Meta, the FBI, and “alleged foreign influence or election integrity.”

Jordan’s office subsequently released a “Facebook Files” series, revealing documents showing Meta executives worrying about “continued pressure . . . including from the White House” to remove content.

Zuckerberg this week sent a letter that, in a country with a functioning news media, would have major ramifications.

Not in direct response to Jordan’s April query, it appears to have been sent at Zuckerberg’s own volition, and is filled with passages deeply embarrassing to authorities. The first is about pressure to “censor” — specifically “censor,” not “moderate” or “exercise oversight”:

“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 bit of frustration with our teams when we didn’t agree . . . I believe the government was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it.” MORE AT Mark Zuckerberg needs to spill all on how FBI censored Americans (nypost.com)
