    Notice how he doesn’t say what was pressured to be censored?

    Things like harmful disinformation and lies regarding vaccines, perhaps?

      Zuckerberg wrote that the censored content included humor and satire, and that administration officials “expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn’t agree.”

      It does, but given what it is they’re griping about being censored you can bet it was a lot of anti-vax/covid is a joke stuff. People trying to promote vaccination don’t tend to make jokes about it.

    It wasn’t just COVID. They were protecting the Bidens from scandals & controversy.
