After years to refusing to release documents on censorship, Mark Zuckerberg has finally come clean and admitted that the Biden-Harris Administration pressured Facebook to censor Americans.
- Jonathan Turley
From the August 26, 2024 Letter by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to the Chairman of the House Committee on the Judiciary:
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. Ultimately, it was out decision whether or not to take content down, and we own our decisions, including COVID-19-related changes we made 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.
We need names. The very idea of any administration forming an alliance with a major tech company to squelch freedom of expression should be repugnant.
