In a letter addressed to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan, Zuckerberg wrote, “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 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,” Zuckerberg stated.

“I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it,” the Meta CEO wrote, adding:

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.

Facebook also said they de-platformed accounts that published “vaccine discouraging information on the platform.”

In 2023, Zuckerberg admitted in an interview with Lex Friedman that Facebook censored COVID-related information that turned out to be “debatable or true.”

Despite these admissions, LifeSiteNews’ main page remains permanently banned to this day.

Elon Musk, a longtime rival and critic of Zuckerberg, commented on the letter, saying that it “(s)ounds like a First Amendment violation.”
