Mark Zuckerberg apologized to Americans for his role in censoring the truth about the COVID pandemic in 2020.

Medical experts who tried to warn Americans about COVID and the vaccines were banned from Facebook and Twitter.

In a letter to the House Judiciary Committee, Zuckerberg admitted his role in silencing the truth about COVID.

The letter was made public by Congressman Jim Jordan on Monday.

In a come-to-Jesus moment, Zuckerberg said he regrets his role in censoring content about COVID on Facebook (now META).

He said censorship was “wrong” and he plans to push back if the Biden administration pressures him again.

Zuckerberg detailed how senior officials within the Biden administration leaned on him to censor certain posts about Covid-19. He said the content included humor and satire about COVID. And he said White House officials “expressed a lot of frustration” when Facebook resisted.

“I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it,” Zuckerberg wrote. “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 recently apologized to former President Donald Trump for banning him from the social media platform. He has since unbanned Trump. He said he spoke with the former President after Trump was nearly assassinated in Pennsylvania on July 13.

Zuckerberg reportedly called Trump’s reaction to getting shot “badass”.
