Joe Biden’s Biggest Sins Revealed by Facebook Boss, Turns Out to Be Serious

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Meta CEO (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp) Mark Zuckerberg suddenly spoke out about the corruption of Joe Biden’s administration.

Zuckerberg said the US government pressured his social media giant to censor Covid-19 content during the pandemic, and he said he would fight back if it happened again in the future.

In a letter dated August 26, 2024, Zuckerberg told the US House judiciary committee that he regretted his silence.

“In 2023, senior officials from the Biden administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured our team for months to censor certain Covid-19 content,” Zuckerberg said in his letter uploaded by the US House of Representatives judiciary committee, quoted from Reuters, Tuesday (27/8/2024).

He said the content requested to be removed included humor and satire. The government is said to have shown their frustration to the Meta team if they did not comply.

“I believe the government pressure was wrong. I regret that we did not expose this sooner,” he wrote.

Zuckerberg also admitted that his party made the wrong decision at that time by following the orders of the US government.

The White House and Meta did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment.

Zuckerberg’s letter was addressed to Jim Jordan, the Republican chairman of the judiciary committee. Jordan called Zuckerberg’s admission a victory for free speech on his Facebook page.

He also stressed that Zuckerberg had already admitted he was wrong to censor US users.

In his letter, Zuckerberg also emphasized that he would not contribute to support this year’s election.

Previously, during the 2020 election that coincided with the pandemic, Zuckerberg spent US$400 million through the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, a philanthropic organization he founded with his wife.

The funding was to support election infrastructure. At the time, Zuckerberg was under fire from various community groups for his involvement in US political contests.
