Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated that senior Biden administration officials exerted inappropriate pressure on Facebook to censor certain COVID-19 content, reflecting concerns over freedom of expression.
In his letter, Zuckerberg noted that officials 'expressed a lot of frustration' at Facebook's refusal to comply with requests to remove content, indicating the intensity of the pressure.
Zuckerberg expressed regret over not being more vocal about the government pressure, admitting that decisions made during the pandemic with hindsight might be reconsidered.
The White House defended its position by emphasizing that their encouragement for responsible actions was aimed at protecting public health during the pandemic.
