Now that President-Elect Donald Trump is about to return to the Oval Office, Mark Zuckerberg is finally speaking up about the censorship demands President Joe Biden’s administration was placing on Facebook. He went on The Joe Rogan Experience Friday to explain Facebook’s sudden shift to free speech and freedom of the press.
Here’s an excerpt from his interview. (WATCH)
🚨ZUCK: "People in the Biden administration would call up our team and scream and curse at them. The e-mails are published, it's all out there. They wanted us to take down a meme of Leo DiCaprio looking at a TV. At some point Biden gave some statement where they said that… pic.twitter.com/nzIOD8aBgH

Many commenters have praise for Zuckerberg speaking out and acknowledging his company’s role in suppressing speech at the behest of Biden’s administration.
Zuckerberg is repenting. Love to see it.

Maybe I’m naive but I think this is the genuine him and his prior avatar was just living in fear, adhering to the lefty ideology.

My feeling is Vivek is actually more of an opportunistic MAGA co-opter than Zuck, Nicole Shanahan, or RFK Jr
I agree, I think he's self-actualized into a comfortable form for once

Other posters are angry, saying this sudden admission would not be happening if Kamala Harris had beaten Trump.
He's not repenting... he's just saying he was "forced" to do it. He should have known it was wrong from the get go...

Where was his spine back then? Tech giants were accomplices in aligning with woke agenda- raising serious questions about the future of internet neutrality. If platforms bend to political whims, we risk losing the diverse, unfiltered/genuine dialogue over the internet.

Many posters say Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter and Trump’s re-election saved the country from the freedom-crushing authoritarian censorship Democrat Party rule was getting away with.
Most of America will never realize how close we were to the point of no return...

I genuinely thought we’d already gone passed it.

The way the world is beginning to pivot in the right direction (even before Trump takes office) feels like when you’re drowning and manage to get above water and take in a nice big breath of air.
Still are. Not a time for complacency & celebration.

Elon buying Twitter really was a fork in the road

I am very proud of many of you who see what's going on. The Twitter purchase was very revealing. A mask off moment.

One poster asks if what the Biden administration was doing was constitutional. The answer is obvious.
Is this level of harassment and government overreach even constitutional?
— Funi (@FuniVids) January 10, 2025
Of course not, but the government doesn't care. 99.9% of people can just be harassed into silence.

Some of Zuckerbergs admissions will open him up to a Class Action Lawsuit. Glad he's spilling the beans on himself in the pursuit of trying to be cool again and make more money.

I’m here for the Zuck comeback tour. Have to be able to forgive in life (but maybe not forget)

Today’s interview comes on the heels of Facebook letting go 40,000 partisan, leftist ‘fact-checkers.’ These ‘fact-checkers’ were being used to stifle Americans’ rights to free speech and freedom of the press. Their dismissal is yet another defeat for the Democrat Party’s (and the dying legacy media’s) goal of silencing Americans and pushing lies and false narratives on voters.
