Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, the umbrella organization of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, stated in the podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience” that they were pressured by the administration of American President Joe Biden to remove content about the side effects of Covid vaccines from social media platforms during the coronavirus outbreak.
“They pushed us super hard to take down things that were honestly true. I mean, they basically pushed us and said, ‘You know anything that says that vaccines might have side effects, you need to take down’ and I was just like well we’re not going to do that'”, Zuckerberg said. He also added the people from the Biden administration, the name of whom he did not specify, cursed and yelled at people in his crew for arguing and that they also tried to censor everyone who opposed.
