Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Biden administration officials would “scream” and “curse” at his employees when they disagreed with the government’s takedown requests over pandemic-related content. …
Not rewriting history at all. Biden team screamed and cursed at the facebook people who didn’t agree with the gov’s takedown requests. Because democrats are big fans of censorship.
Did he provide any evidence of this? I can’t find anything other than him just saying so. The court even found the republican case against this had provided no good evidence.
Can you link me to something other than “media oligarch says previous administration bad as new administration, who has leveled public threats against the media, prepares to take office.”
Well, considering he’s a CEO saying this while overseeing a staff of thousands, it would be pretty ridiculous for him to lie. Other staff members have backed him up too.
I’m pretty sure lying about something like this could get him in serious trouble, so yes, I believe he has plenty of evidence.
And honestly, I think he’s telling the truth. That said, Facebook is a mess, and I’m no fan of Zuckerberg.
But dude, I think he’s being honest. If you don’t want to accept it, that’s fine. That’s your right.
You can go ahead and believe the oligarch without evidence. Also, he can say these things without getting into actual trouble. Making a case against him over these statements, towards public figures, would be next to impossible. I have no doubt the biden admin pushed for more control over things like covid information. However, this is very conveniently timed to discard the previous admin, and kiss the ring of the incoming one, you know, the one that has been openly threatening people like Zuck.
I need more than the word of a corrupt megacorp billionaire.
Yep, that’s exactly what the poster sounded like. lol Anytime Lemmy reads about something they don’t like, they like to call it propaganda. It’s crazy.
Nice rewiriting of history, as the core of covid happened under trump.
Did the core of the government secretly making backdoor censorship requests to Facebook happen under trump?

As he was just called out by fact checking orgs about lying about fact checking I’d rather wait for proof than trust him.

Ooh new propaganda sub
“Every fact I don’t like is propaganda”

It’s not propaganda just because you don’t like it, friend. Thanks!
