News summary

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has publicly expressed regret over the Biden administration's pressure on his company to censor certain Covid-19 content in 2021, describing the pressure as 'wrong' in a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan. He stated that while Meta ultimately made the decisions about content moderation, the government pressure influenced their actions, and he wishes he had been more vocal against it. Zuckerberg also indicated that he will not repeat past funding efforts for election infrastructure due to concerns about perceived partisanship. His remarks come amid an escalating debate over content moderation and free speech as the 2024 presidential election approaches. The letter has been embraced by Republicans as a victory for free speech, highlighting ongoing tensions between tech companies and government requests. Zuckerberg affirmed Meta's commitment to maintaining neutral content standards and resisting future external pressures.
