Zuckerberg said senior Biden administration officials “repeatedly pressured” Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, to “censor” content in 2021. “I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken,” he wrote to House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio). “Like I said to our teams at the time, 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 added.
From your link:
He said the FBI did not warn Facebook about the Biden story in particular - only that Facebook thought it “fit that pattern”.
Directly contradicting your point. Yet you used it as evidence of your point. Can you answer me why one would cite a article that contradicts their point by cherry picking part of it that doesn’t contradict their point?
Although, let’s also laugh at the absurdity of claiming that because Zuckerberg said it on the joe Rogan show…well, that means it’s absolutely true. Lol
But to answer your question, most people when they whine about people “lying” about the laptop being Russian propaganda are referring to the warning letter by ex spies:

No. I’m accusing the FBI of media manipulation and misinformation.
But it is hilarious that you are trying to invent evidence using what professional misinformation creators didn’t say in a published letter which, we now know, was complete misinformation.
The main problem with misinformation is who gets to decide what is fact and what is fiction.
FBI does not reveal that there is no “Russian Propaganda” related to that story.
You still havent proven this. Did you read the letter i posted? This is where the whole “Russian disinformation” public perception comes from, not from some questionable timeline where the FBI plants some vague seeds and the public is smart enough to make the connection.
And this is the point. They warned Facebook about the disinformation, and Facebook saw that the laptop fit the pattern. Maybe this is because it was Russian disinformation, which is why the FBI never corrected it. Although, there are more reasons why the FBI wouldn’t hop in, such as it’s not their job to correct public opinion.
Did you read the letter i posted? This is where the whole “Russian disinformation” public perception comes from,
Your letter is not relevant. We are discussing why Facebook immediately started censoring the Hunter Biden laptop story published on the 14th October 2020. This has absolutely nothing to do with a disinformation letter released 5 days later on the 19th.
questionable timeline
What are you questioning?
where the FBI plants some vague seeds
Referenced directly by Zuckerberg as the specific reason for censorship.
and the public is smart enough to make the connection.
No, the Facebook content team were duped into connecting the laptop story to Russian propaganda.
Maybe this is because it was Russian disinformation, which is why the FBI never corrected it.
OK. I’d love to hear you arguing this. At what point were the Russians involved in repairing Hunter Biden’s laptop?
it’s not their job to correct public opinion.
It’s not the FBI’s job to run PR interference for a politician’s son, but that’s exactly what they did. Court documents prove they had foreknowledge and proof that Hunter’s laptop was genuine.
