Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg alleges that Biden administration officials pressured the company to remove certain posts deemed truthful. Zuckerberg recounted instances where officials allegedly berated Meta employees and demanded the removal of content. He stated Meta refused to comply, asserting that removing factual information was unreasonable.

The White House denied these allegations, emphasizing their focus on protecting public health during the pandemic.
The Meta CEO said on a podcast that administration officials had asked the company to remove certain posts, including"things that are true."
It's not the first time that the co-founder of Facebook has said administration officials pressured the company to remove posts. to Rep. Jim Jordan, the Republican chair of the House Judiciary Committee, Zuckerberg said that the White House “repeatedly pressured” Facebook to remove “certain COVID-19 content including humor and satire.”
In that case, plaintiffs, which included Louisiana, Missouri and several Facebook users who had posts removed or downgraded, sought to bar government officials from communicating with social media companies.
