Facebook founder and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience Thursday to explain how the federal government compelled the censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story in the lead-up to the 2020 presidential election.
“How do you guys handle things when they’re a big news item that’s controversial?” Rogan asked Zuckerberg, adding that “there was a lot of attention on Twitter during the election because of the Hunter Biden laptop story.”
Rogan asked Zuckerberg if Facebook censored the Hunter Biden story like Twitter did, and Zuckerberg explained the process that went into his platform suppressing the highly-relevant news item.
“Basically, the background here is the FBI, I think, basically came to us, some folks on our team, and was like, ‘Hey, um, just so you know, like, you should be on high alert, we thought there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election, we have it on notice that basically there’s about to be some kind of dump of, uh um, that’s similar to that so just be vigilant,'” Zuckerberg responded.
