In a letter to Rep. Jim Jordan, the Republican chair of the House Judiciary Committee, Zuckerberg alleges that officials from the Biden administration repeatedly pressured Facebook for months to take down COVID-19 content, including humor and satire, expressing frustration when the company didn't comply.
Zuckerberg stated, 'I believe the government pressure was wrong and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it,' further emphasizing the company's determination to push back against similar demands in the future.
He mentioned, 'I also think we made some choices that, with the benefit of hindsight and new information, we wouldn't make today,' indicating a willingness to reassess past actions regarding misinformation.
The White House responded by acknowledging the necessity for tech companies to consider their impacts on public health, reinforcing their stance on responsible actions during the pandemic.
