Zuckerberg expressed regret for not being more vocal about "government pressure" to censor COVID-19-related content
thehill.com
Zuckerberg said senior Biden administration officials "repeatedly pressured" Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, to "censor" content in 2021. "I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken," he wrote to House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio). "Like I said to our teams at the time, 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 added.

In a separate situation, the FBI warned us about a potential Russian disinformation operation about the Biden family and Burisma in the lead up to the 2020 election. That fall, when we saw a New York Post story reporting on corruption allegations involving then-Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's family, we sent that story to fact-checkers for review and temporarily demoted it while waiting for a reply. It's since been made clear that the reporting was not Russian disinformation, and in retrospect, we shouldn't have demoted the story.
Well, he wrote that in a public letter to the House Judiciary committee. Let's see the FBI disagree or arrest him for misinformation.
The damaging ones have. In particular the "10% for the big guy" email is genuine.
Notice the language here, he says "the reporting" was not disinformation, nothing about whether the laptop itself was part of any disinformation campaign. You've been very careful with your language, it's surprising that you can't see this deliberate use of language to sidestep any actual statement about the the laptop itself.
So we agree that they haven't all been verified, exposing what was obfuscated in your claim.
And why have you abandoned the central theme of your claim that the FBI pressured them about the laptop? Again it appears you believe zuck when he kind of says something that confirms your point, but when he says something that contradicts it, you just ignore it.
What? If reporting the laptop contents is not misinformation then the laptop contents are not misinformation.
My claim that the FBI deliberately mislead Twitter and Facebook was detailed above with accompanying evidence. You've brought nothing new to contradict that claim.
