" On August 26, 2024, Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg posted a frank letter to
House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan that stated: “In 2021, senior officials from the Biden
Administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured our team for months to censor
certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire, and expressed a lot of frustration with
our teams when we didn’t agree.”
Previously, in August 2022, Mr. Zuckerberg confirmed that Facebook’s censorship of the
New York Post story about Hunter Biden’s laptop followed warnings from the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) that Facebook should be cautious of misinformation and foreign interference
ahead of the 2020 election.1
Similarly, Twitter’s decision to censor the same New York Post story about Hunter
Biden’s laptop followed the company’s close relationship with state and federal officials—
including the FBI.2 On February 8, 2023, the Committee held a hearing titled “Protecting
Speech from Government Interference and Social Media Bias, Part 1: Twitter’s Role in
Suppressing the Biden Laptop Story” to investigate how and why Twitter suppressed the New York Post. "
