Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed that the U.S. government pressured Facebook to censor COVID-19 content. He expressed regret over the company's compliance with these demands.
Zuckerberg's letter highlighted that officials from the Biden Administration pressured Meta for months to censor content, which he believes was wrong and regrets not opposing more strongly.
Facebook's content moderation during the pandemic resulted in the removal of over 20 million posts labeled as misinformation, igniting criticism regarding their handling of free speech.
Amid growing debates about social media regulation, Zuckerberg aligns with other leaders in acknowledging past content moderation decisions that they feel may have overstepped.
