Multi-billionaire Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Meta/Facebook, admitted in a letter to the House Judiciary Committee that Facebook is censoring users’ speech under intense pressure and on behalf of the Biden administration. He admitted to hiding a crucial criminal story related to “Hunter Biden’s laptop.” He also mentions the manipulation of the 2020 US election.
Where does this “remorse” come from? He was well aware that in a fair election, Donald Trump would be the clear favorite. And what happens if Donald Trump becomes president again on January 21, 2025? Those who committed the crime of election manipulation will be brought to justice.
Among my readers there are probably consumers of corrupt media and they will say: Why, Kamala Harris leads in all rankings! Certainly on TV and in the press. But it has the same reality as the claim that Trump faked an assassination attempt on himself in July and squirted ketchup in his ear. The same ketchup certainly killed a brave fireman who covered his daughter with his body and saved her life.

Yes, Zuckerberg knows he faces prison time, which is why he wrote this letter:
The Honorable Jim Jordan
Chairman
Committee on the Judiciary
United States House of Representatives
2138 Rayburn House Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20515
Chairman Jordan:
I appreciate the Committee’s interest in content moderation on online platforms. As you are aware, Meta has produced thousands of documents as part of your investigation and made a dozen employees available for transcribed interviews. Further to our cooperation with your investigation, I welcome the opportunity to share what I’ve taken away from this process.
There’s a lot of talk right now around how the U.S. government interacts with companies like Meta, and I want to be clear about our position. Our platforms are for everyone – we’re about promoting speech and helping people connect in a safe and secure way. As part of this, we regularly hear from governments around the world and others with various concerns around public discourse and public safety.
In 2021, senior officials from the Biden Administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire, and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn’t agree. Ultimately, it was our decision whether or not to take content down, and we own our decisions, including COVID-19-related changes we made to our enforcement in the wake of this pressure. I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it. I also think we made some choices that, with the benefit of hindsight and new information, we wouldn’t make today. Like I said to our teams at the time, 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.
In a separate situation, the FBI warned us about a potential Russian disinformation operation about the Biden family and Burisma in the lead up to the 2020 election. That fall, when we saw a New York Post story reporting on corruption allegations involving then-Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s family, we sent that story to fact-checkers for review and temporarily demoted it while waiting for a reply. It’s since been made clear that the reporting was not Russian disinformation, and in retrospect, we shouldn’t have demoted the story. We’ve changed our policies and processes to make sure this doesn’t happen again — for instance, we no longer temporarily demote things in the U.S. while waiting for fact-checkers.
Apart from content moderation, I want to address the contributions I made during the last presidential cycle to support electoral infrastructure. The idea here was to make sure local election jurisdictions across the country had the resources they needed to help people vote safely during a global pandemic. I made these contributions through the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. They were designed to be non-partisan — spread across urban, rural, and suburban communities. Still, despite the analyses I’ve seen showing otherwise, I know that some people believe this work benefited one party over the other. My goal is to be neutral and not play a role one way or another – or to even appear to be playing a role. So I don’t plan on making a similar contribution this cycle.
Respectfully,
/s/ Mark Zuckerberg

We’re about promoting speech – sounds strange, but Zuckerberger didn’t dare to use the term “freedom of speech”. No wonder, because statements on Facebook are still censored, albeit to a lesser extent than during the fake pandemic. My account was blocked there several times. Today, they use what is known as shadowbanning, including in my entries. Shadowbanned accounts and blocked posts are put into a kind of invisible mode. In other words, they become a “shadow” that only a few users see.
Censors assume that people are just grey masses who cannot think for themselves. For some people, this opinion is absolutely correct. Most of these people have conveniently left the difficult thought process to the television.
I have often heard voices from opponents of the totalitarian system calling for people who have different opinions to be censored. That is not the way! In my opinion, supporters of the flat earth should also have the opportunity to express themselves publicly.
This fear that people will find out something that is not true is irrational. It presupposes the mental inertia of the recipient. And who decides what is true and what is not? This is certainly not authentic science, based on disputes between supporters of different theses. For Facebook, the arbitrators are the Soros-sponsored “fact checkers.”
Censorship is used when a lie loses its power.
