In Stunning Letter To Congress, Zuckerberg Admits Biden Pressured Facebook To Censor Content

Now he's participating in a Congressional investigation.

In a stunning Monday evening letter to House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, Zuckerberg admitted that senior Biden administration officials "repeatedly pressured" Facebook teams to suppress information related to COVID-19 that the platform would not have otherwise censored - and the administration 'expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn't agree.'

Zuck now says that Facebook should not have compromised its standards "due to pressure from any Administration in either direction."

"I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it," reads the letter. "I also think we made some choices that, with the benefit of hindsight and new information, we wouldn’t make today."

He's also committed and "ready to push back if something like this happens again."

Mark Zuckerberg just admitted three things:

1. Biden-Harris Admin "pressured" Facebook to censor Americans.

2. Facebook censored Americans.

3. Facebook throttled the Hunter Biden laptop story.
