"Mark Zuckerberg said Facebook content moderation had gone too far earlier this year, and promised less censorship. Until his boss man Trump told him to censor a Facebook page that ICE complained about, and Zuck quickly complied. It was well before Donald Trump had even been reelected yet when Facebook founder and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg apologized to Republicans for adhering to the Biden administration's request to censor certain COVID-19 content because that content was complete bullshit about ivermectin and such."
"Once Trump was back in office, Zuckerberg declared that Facebook censorship had gone too far, and that Facebook/Meta would stop censoring controversial posts and start protecting free expression. So if the Facebook posts happen to bother Trump, will they still be uncensored, and will their free expression be protected? If you understand what a Trump suck-up Zuckerberg is these days, you can probably take a wild guess."
"Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents in Chicago. The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk Attorney General Pamela Bondi (@AGPamBondi) October 14, 2025 NBC News reports that Facebook removed a page that was critical of ICE, and did so specifically at the request of Trump's Department of Justice."
Mark Zuckerberg previously announced reduced Facebook content moderation and promised less censorship. He complied with a request to censor a Facebook page that ICE complained about. He had earlier apologized to Republicans for following the Biden administration's request to remove certain COVID-19 content labeled misinformation. After Trump returned to office, Zuckerberg stated that Facebook had censored too much and pledged to protect free expression. The Department of Justice requested removal of a large Facebook group allegedly used to dox ICE agents in Chicago, and Facebook removed the page following that outreach. Pam Bondi publicly praised the removal without providing evidentiary details.
