Meta resisted Biden's COVID-19 censorship requests

The Biden administration sought to impose censorship on posts related to COVID-19 on social networks from the Meta corporation.

Axar.az reports that Mark Zuckerberg, the owner of Meta, stated this in a letter addressed to Jim Jordan, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives.

"High-ranking officials from the Biden administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured our team in 2021 to impose censorship on COVID-19 content, including humorous and satirical material. When we refused, they expressed their dissatisfaction with our team. I strongly believe that we should not compromise our content standards due to pressure from the administration, and if this happens again, we are prepared to respond," Zuckerberg said.
