Mark Zuckerberg on Joe Rogan Reveals Biden Admin Pressured Meta to Censor COVID-19 Vaccine Side Effects
Jan 10, 2025, 06:30 PM
Mark Zuckerberg, in a recent appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast, disclosed that the Biden administration pressured Facebook to censor posts regarding COVID-19 vaccine side effects. He stated that officials from the administration 'pushed us super hard' to remove content that was 'honestly true,' specifically targeting any claims suggesting that vaccines might have side effects. Zuckerberg recounted that the administration's approach included aggressive communication, with employees reportedly being 'screamed and cursed' at when they resisted these demands. He noted that the censorship efforts intensified following the 2016 election and were influenced by political motivations. This revelation raises questions about the extent of government involvement in moderating online discourse related to health information during the pandemic.
