Meta chief executive Mark Zuckerberg has told a committee in the Republican-controlled House that he and his company regret bowing to pressure from US President Joe Biden's administration to censor Covid-19 content.
"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," Mr Zuckerberg wrote.
"Ultimately it was our decision to take down the content, and we own our decisions. We're ready to push back if something like this happens again."
Mr Zuckerberg’s letter comes days after Telegram’s Russian founder Pavel Durov was arrested in France amid several reports and accusations regarding the lack of content moderation on the company’s messaging platform.
