  Regrets — Mark has a few!  Well this is something, but not much of a surprise from tech's most equivocal CEO.  He must worry that he has to protect himself in the case of Trump winning especially after the attacks on him personally and he knows Harris won't really care or take an…

  I am still floored by this letter.  Look, jawboning is unambiguously bad.  We also just had a SCOTUS case highlighting how flimsy the evidence was that it happened in any material way.  Zuck was also proactively reaching out *to* health officials ab how FB could help. …

  Letter from Zuckerberg to Jordan's Weaponized committee.  Interesting tidbit within the groveling: FB saying it will no longer temporarily throttle viral rumors or doc dumps during an election situation?  Would be nice to see this policy clarified somewhere.

  Mark Zuckerberg just admitted three things: 1. Biden-Harris Admin “pressured” Facebook to censor Americans. 2. Facebook censored Americans. 3. Facebook throttled the Hunter Biden laptop story. Big win for free speech. [image]

  Mark Zuckerberg comes clean and finally admits what everyone already knows he and META did to influence the 2020 election.

• @sriramk Sriram Krishnan on x

  Two themes today are connected. 1. Pavel's arrest and the charges against him. 2. Zuck and Meta admitting fault in the Hunter Biden laptop takedown from 2020. #1 is key as we have a wave of new regulation around the world ( DSA, OSA) which could potentially hold individuals

  Sounds like a First Amendment violation

• @stevesi Steven Sinofsky on x

  Saying any of these happened was determined to be misinformation. This shows the limits of such policing or even criticizing.

  It's too little too late - & it does not account for the harm done. There is no justice for those affected or hurt while this moron buys another multi-milton dollar yacht/house. Mark Zuckerberg admits Biden admin ‘pressured’ Facebook to censor Americans https://justthenews.com/..…

  JUST IN - Zuckerberg regrets working with the Biden-Harris administration to censor Covid era information online. The rats are fleeing the sinking ship. This is huge. Humanity is turning the tide! https://x.com/...

  Why now? This letter years later and three months before the most significant election of his lifetime. Why now? ps don't forget the lawsuit against his company and him personally will be heard by SCOTUS the day after the election. 1/2 [image]

• @geoffmanne Geoffrey Manne on x

  We already knew this, but before it was inferred from documents; now it's confirmed. I'm not even sure the WH denied it — I think they said it was justified. Regardless, it's a good reminder that, yeah, the gov't absolutely does (unconstitutionally) censor speech it doesn't like.…

  In which Mark Zuckerberg says the feds “repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire ... I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it.”

• @judiciarygop @judiciarygop on x

  Mark Zuckerberg also tells the Judiciary Committee that he won't spend money this election cycle. That's right, no more Zuck-bucks. Huge win for election integrity.

  one of the most important letters of the last decade

  Here is the full report. Again, why now? Why go through the laundry list of items? Neutral would have meant not sending this letter. 2/2 https://www.wsj.com/...

  🚨 JUST IN: Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg says he “regrets” censoring information on behalf of the Biden Harris regime It's a little late for that, Zuck. Meta and Zuckerberg should be held accountable for interfering in our elections. DON'T LET THEM OFF THE HOOK! They KNEW what [image]

• @basedmikelee Mike Lee on x

  I'm not sure what should trouble us more — (a) that Facebook was able to bury the Hunter Biden laptop story until well after the 2020 election, or (b) that it was prompted by the FBI

• @basedmikelee Mike Lee on x

  Facebook may have changed the outcome of the 2020 presidential race. Four years later, we get a letter saying “sorry.”

• @joshuasteinman Joshua Steinman on x

  Zuck has access to a real-time global human sentiment machine. If you think he's coming clean about what Kamala & co have been doing just for the sake of doing the right thing, you aren't paying attention. He knows what's coming.

• @johnny_joey Joey Jones on x

  The letter is a win for the campaign trail if Republicans can use it correctly.

• @chrispavlovski Chris Pavlovski on x

  This is explosive and damning. In 2021 during Covid, Rumble told the media to pound sand, we told tech companies threatening to cancel us to pound sound, we did not fold, and we had balls of steel. Meta had no balls.

  oops sorry we accidentally rigged the election and installed a senile vegetable to the highest office in the world ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  @JudiciaryGOP This is explosive and damning. In 2021 during Covid, Rumble told the media to pound sand, we told tech companies threatening to cancel us to pound sound, and we did not fold. Glad to be on the right side of history.

  Zuckerberg tells the Committee the NY Post story on the Biden family's corruption “was not Russian disinformation” and that they “shouldn't have demoted the story.” [image]

• @mtaibbi Matt Taibbi on x

  This admission by Zuckerberg in a letter to @Jim_Jordan is a long-overdue pubic repudiation of the “51 spies” who denounced the NY Post expose, and a validation of the reporting of @mirandadevine, who is still owed an industry-wide apology.
