Biden administration officials reportedly called executives at Meta to express their anger and frustration, demanding the removal of Facebook posts that questioned the coronavirus vaccine.
According to the NYP, This revelation was made by Mark Zuckerberg during an interview with Joe Rogan on Friday.
Zuckerberg explained that during the initial rollout of the vaccines, members of the Biden administration pressured Meta to take down posts that were, in his view, actually true.
He stated, “People from the Biden administration would call our team and scream at them and curse.” When Rogan inquired whether these phone calls were recorded, Zuckerberg indicated that he did not believe they were.
Zuckerberg said the Biden team wanted Meta to remove posts that correctly stated that the vaccines could induce side effects.
“Basically it just got to this point [where we told them], ‘No, we’re not going to take down this thing that was true’,” Zuckerberg said.
