Mark Zuckerberg says Biden administration pressured Facebook to censor Covid-19 content

"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."

Content standards from Facebook? What a F'ing joke. Zuckerberg, another privileged punk with his head up his A$$.

This is why they went from loving Musk and his green energy, to hating the man and his free speech stance. You must comply, you must submit. Be good little NPCs and cast your vote according to TikTok.

Zuckerberg is no different.

Waiting for an apology. Being serious though, I was banned on many issues.
1.) When I lived in CT during COVID I was one of the first people to get it. I was waking up with blood on my pillow and lost my voice. Went to the walk in clinic and they were speechless. They recommended I go to the local hospital. The hospital said I had respiratory Virus. I had friends ask me on Fakebook how I got through it. I said A lot of soup, dark amber maple syrup, tea, raw honey, vegetables, eggs. I was about 34-35 years old when I got it. It took me 5-7 days to heal. I was banned 48hrs for just stating what my diet was while sick.

2.) I was banned from Fakebook for posting Australia Sky News YOUTUBE link to bidenlaptopemails.com which still has been up for the last 5+ years. I was also banned for posting NEWYORK TIMES court papers of the laptop serial # and bill of sale from the shop. I was banned for stating if Biden wins America won't be the same. I was banned about BALTOPS22 Pipeline sabotage and also Biolabs illegal operations in 3-5 different locations. I was banned for posting a WSJ article saying Biden has the worst policies and gas will go up if he's president. I was banned for many more things, so I ended up dumping Trashbook. Then a year or so later someone hacked into my account and took everything I had and was left with nothing.

"...repeatedly pressured Meta's teams for months to censor certain Covid-19 content, including humor and satire."

I don't see a problem here. COVID was no joke.

Not to mention all the right wing nutjobs spreading false information and saying it was fake.

I literally had folks telling me to go into the hospitals and photograph people in NYC. Their small town in Wisconsin thought it was fake where I grew up.

The pure ignorance is spiteful. And yeah, making jokes of folks dying isnt humorous.

And folks talking about Musk, he censors X worse than its ever been. His standard though, what I want to be published. Not, is it credible.

This is what happens when you're ignorant enough to rely on social media posts to get your news from it. So much news out there, learn to read, decipher and deduct reasonable information from these places before you simply follow suit. Most people are too lazy to educate their selves these days it's just sad....

Oh! Look! Facebook said a thing so it's real!
Oh! Look! Main stream media said a thing so it's real!

Time to grow up, people. Ask questions, push boundaries and educate yourself about these things! Stop listening and start to actually hear.

You don't see an issue with censoring humor and satire? Not to mention the many false claims made by public officials regarding vaccine efficacy, or the actual death rate for people infected with Covid?

There was a ton of false information put out by government officials. Everything from trying to squash the Wuhan lab theory, to vaccine efficacy, to mask use and more. Remember when the Surgeon General said masks won't work? And then Faucci suggested 2 masks. And now we know that homemade masks were useless and didn't do anything for anyone. This is the whole problem when you have government officials actively trying to squash information that is contrary to the narrative they want you to believe.

Don't forget the largest disinformation of all. In January, when Trump first banned travel from Covid-infected China, the media attacked him for it, endlessly repeating the WHO and CDC official position that China was accurately reporting that Covid didn't spread through human-to-human contact.

Even that Leftist bastion of disinformation Snopes can't discredit this one. Yes, the travel ban covered only the Covid-infected areas of China, not the entire country -- but even that limited ban was attacked by the media and Democrats as "senseless", and even "racist". A full month after Trump announced the ban, the last DNC primary debate was held -- not one candidate on stage, Biden and Harris both included, even mentioned Covid as an issue facing the nation, and the media was still relentlessly attacking Trump advisor Peter Navarro as "crazy" by his refusal to believe the CCP/WHO dogma that Covid couldn't be spread through human contact. Two months later, the media was attacking Trump for "not listening" to Navarro, and doing more to halt the spread.

And Snopes is correct that there is "limited evidence" that the ban halted the spread of Covid. Why? Because nothing stopped the spread of Covid. Not masks or social distancing or economy-destroying shutdowns. As I myself predicted on this very board back in 2020, Covid was obviously headed to endemic status. Every person on the planet would catch it -- and those already infected would catch it again and again and again. The media's nonsense about containment campaigns was just that -- absurdity personified.

You are either for freedom of speech or you're not. Anyone throwing out the "false information" tact is just covering for being against speech that is contradictory to their own. The best counter to "false information" is better communicated truth.

Watching people unironically defend the lying legacy media behemoth is astounding.

Yea, I saw an interview with Pelosi who was saying Trump mishandled Covid, but then the reporter pointed out that she, Biden and most of the Democratic party called him xenophobic for banning travel to/from China. I know for a fact the first 2 cases in the State of Washington came from people who had travelled to that region just before the major outbreaks.

I don' think anyone here said that, but it's a bit of throwing rocks from glass houses, isn't it?

No jabs for me. PERSONAL decision. My younger sister on the other hand got 2 jabs along with her husband because they also care for his elderly mother. In April, my sister had a mild stroke that caused her right side to have issues. She's recovered from that mostly, then 2 weeks ago, she had another "mini" stroke that set her back. Her doctor said yes, it was caused by the jab. The doctor said they are seeing A LOT of stroke cases that were people who took the shot & boosters.
Now, she's going to spend the rest of her life on BLOOD THINNERS!

Co-worker of my wife's, her husband (was 45 years old) dropped dead from a heart attack 3 days after his second pfizer shot. Zero heart issues in his family, no one ever had a heart attack on his side of the family....he was the first.

Coincidence or maybe he's just the first in his family with heart issues?

Remember, though, these things didn't make companies money nor push agendas. The Government and/or pharmacy companies strong-arming (or paying, probably both) media and social media outlets needed to keep things on top and making them money, money, money and POWER!

So, you think satire and comedy have to be reviewed and censored when it comes to topics like Covid or anything else? Sorry, I don't agree. And I especially don't think anyone should be censoring people asking legitimate questions about Covid origins, vaccine efficacy, mask efficacy, or the actual death rate due to Covid.

As it should have been. I took the jab and have had no issues other than getting Covid regardless of getting the vaccine and 2 boosters.

The issue is that some people, in some states, were fired because they refused. Now that we know more about the "vaccine" these people are not being reinstated. In WA State they fired a bunch of ferry workers and now they have trouble running ferries due to short staffing, but they won't hire these already trained and experienced people back.
