Credit where credit’s due: Mark Zuckerberg is acknowledging the truth of the role his social media giant played in censoring reasonable information and viewpoints regarding COVID-19, as well as the role President Joe Biden’s administration played in pressuring Meta to censor that information.
Granted, this comes three years after the censorship happened and effectively silenced discussion on the world’s largest social media platform, and neither Zuckerberg nor Meta will likely face any sort of repercussions for this admission.
And as for the Biden administration, don’t make me laugh.
The disclosure came in a Monday letter to House Judiciary Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio as part of an inquiry into the content moderation on social media platforms in the run-up to and the aftermath of the 2020 elections.
“There’s a lot of talk right now around how the U.S. government interacts with companies like Meta, and I want to be clear about our position,” Zuckerberg wrote.
