We know that Facebook censored people throughout the pandemic. We know that if the Biden administration asked them to censor people, the social media giant did it.
This isn't groundbreaking news.
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg said he regrets that the company did it, which is fine except that it could be argued that it constituted election interference. After all, a lot of the people who reported being censored were shut down because of their pro-Donald Trump rhetoric.
The same is true for those who report being throttled on the platform.
But Zuckerberg said that's over. He said he regrets it and it won't happen again, blah, blah, blah.
Now, let's go back four years earlier. Remember when it was a massive scandal because some pages on Facebook were reportedly set up by Russia to try and get Donald Trump elected? Granted, they were really just about creating discord, but they basically pushed memes, and that was election interference, at least as Democrats saw it.
https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/26/zuckerberg-meta-white-house-pressure...Mark Zuckerberg says he regrets that Meta bowed to Biden administration pressure to censor content, saying in a letter that the interference was “wrong” and he plans to push back if it happens again.
“I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it,” Zuckerberg wrote. “I feel strongly that we should not compromise our content standards due to pressure from any Administration in either direction — and we’re ready to push back if something like this happens again.”
Zuckerberg also expressed regret for Meta’s downplaying of content related to coverage by the New York Post about Hunter Biden ahead of the 2020 election that the FBI warned may have been rooted in a Russian disinformation operation.

"...A White House spokesperson responded to Zuckerberg’s letter, saying the administration at the time was encouraging “responsible actions to protect public health and safety.” ..."Interesting the NEW way to say, CENSORSHIP !!!!! (Just a AW-SUM Spin)
