**Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg Alleges Government Pressure to Censor COVID-19 Content**
Meta's Mark Zuckerberg has claimed that Facebook faced pressure from the Biden administration to censor COVID-19 content during the pandemic. In a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, Zuckerberg expressed regret over the decisions made under this pressure, stating they wouldn't have been made with today's knowledge.
Zuckerberg also mentioned regret over demoting a story about Russian disinformation and Hunter Biden's laptop in 2020. The letter has sparked reactions from free-speech advocates, with some calling for investigations into government officials involved in the alleged pressure.
Elon Musk and other tech leaders have weighed in, supporting a move towards more transparent content moderation.
