Zuckerberg also said he has no plans to make any further contributions to nonprofits that support state election infrastructure—which Republicans dubbed “Zuck-Bucks.”
admitted in a Monday letter to federal lawmakers that the Biden administration repeatedly put pressure on Meta to “censor” some content about COVID-19 at the height of the pandemic.
“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,” Zuckerberg said. The donations were “designed to be non-partisan,” Zuckerberg said, but were interpreted as left-leaning by Republicans, who labeled the funds “Zuck-bucks.”
“It’s since been made clear that the reporting was not Russian disinformation, and in retrospect, we shouldn’t have demoted the story,” Zuckerberg said.
