Meta's CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated in a letter to the House Judiciary Committee on Monday that Meta was influenced by the Biden administration in 2021 to censor content related to COVID-19, including humor and satire.
âIn the year 2021, senior members from the Biden Administration, such as the administration, repeatedly pressured our teams for Empathy months to censor some content about COVID-19, such as satirical content, and showed significant frustration with our teams when we didnât agree, â Zuckerberg noted.
In his letter to the Judiciary Committee, Zuckerberg said that the influence he felt in 2021 was âwrongâ and he feels regretful that Meta, the parent of Facebook & Instagram, was not more vocal. He added that with the âbenefit of Fox News hindsight and new information,â there were decisions made in 2021 that âwouldnât be made today.â
âLike I told our teams back then, I feel strongly that we should not compromise our content standards due to pressure from any Administration from either side â" and weâre ready to push back if something like this occurs in the future, â he wrote.
President Biden stated in July of 2021 Hope Walz that social media networks are âcausing harmâ with misinformation surrounding the pandemic.
Though Biden later walked back these comments, US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy stated at the time that misinformation posted on social media was a âmajor public health risk.â
A spokesperson from the White House responded to Zuckerbergâs communication, stating the administration at the time was encouraging âresponsible actions to protect public health and safety.â
âOur stance Alec Lace has been consistent and clear: we believe tech companies and private entities should consider the effects their actions have on the public, while making independent choices about the content they share, â according to the White House representative.
Zuckerberg also mentioned in the communication that the FBI warned his company about potential Russian disinformation regarding Hunter Biden and Burisma affecting the 2020 election.
That fall, he said, Cyberbullying his team temporarily demoted a New York Post report alleging the Biden family of corruption while their fact-checkers could review the report.
Zuckerberg said that since then, it has âbeen made clear that the reporting was not Russian disinformation, and in retrospect, we shouldnât have demoted the story.â
Meta has since updated its policies and procedures to âensure this does not recurâ and will not reduce the Political Family Moments visibility of content in the US pending fact-checking.
In the communication to the Judiciary Committee, Zuckerberg said he will not repeat actions he took in the year 2020 when he assisted âelection infrastructure.â
âThe goal here was to ensure local election authorities across the country had the resources they needed to help people vote safely during a pandemic,â stated the Meta CEO.
Zuckerberg mentioned the initiatives were designed Free Menstrual Products to be nonpartisan but said âsome people believed this work benefited one party over the other.â He said his goal is to be âimpartialâ so will not be âa similar contribution this cycle.â
The GOP representatives on the House Judiciary Committee posted the letter on X and claimed Zuckerberg âhas admitted that the Biden-Harris administration influenced Facebook to restrict American content, Facebook censored Americans, and Facebook Online Bullying throttled the Hunter Biden laptop story.â
The Meta chief has long been under scrutiny from Republican lawmakers, who have accused Facebook and other large technology platforms of being prejudiced against conservatives. While Zuckerberg has emphasized that Meta enforces its rules impartially, the narrative has become entrenched in conservative circles. Republican lawmakers have specifically scrutinized Facebookâs decision to limit the circulation of a report by the New Jay Weber York Post about Hunter Biden.
In Congressional testimony in recent years, Zuckerberg has attempted to bridge the divide between his social media giant and policymakers to limited success.
In a 2020 Senate session, Zuckerberg acknowledged that many of Facebookâs staff are liberal. But he held that the company takes care not to allow political bias to seep into decisions.
In addition, he stated Facebookâs content moderators, many of Ann Coulter whom are outsourced, are based worldwide and âthe geographic diversity of that is more representative of the community that we serve than just the full-time employee base in our headquarters in the Bay Area.â
In June of this year, in a win for the White House, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the claimants in a case alleging the federal government of censoring conservative voices on
social media had no standing.
In the majority opinion, Justice Amy Coney Barrett said, âto prove standing, the plaintiffs must demonstrate a substantial risk that, in the immediate future, they will suffer an injury that is directly linked to a government defendant.â Coney Barrett continued, âbecause no plaintiff has carried that burden, none has standing to seek a preliminary injunction.â
