Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg confirmed in a letter to the House Judiciary Committee on Monday that he was “repeatedly pressured” to censor Americans on behalf of the Biden-Harris administration but said he now “regrets” going along with it.

“In 2021, senior officials from the Biden Administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured our teams 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,” he said in the letter. “Ultimately, it was our decision whether or not to take content down, and we own our decisions, including COVID-19-related changes we made to our enforcement in the wake of this pressure.”
