Facebook and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg claimed on Monday that President Joe Biden’s administration “repeatedly pressured” the social network to “censor” content, “including humor and satire” the administration objected to.
In a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), Zuckerberg claimed that, “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.”
