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.
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.
Your letter is not relevant.
Absolutely relevant because it explains how the laptop could be real and that it is still part of a Russian disinformation campaign. Of course the public can only respond to a story after it has been released.
No, the Facebook content team were duped into connecting the laptop story to Russian propaganda
Again, at no point have you established as a fact that it was not Russian propaganda. But that sentence was meant to be taken as a whole, contradicting your claim that the public misconception about it was due to FBI planting the seeds.
OK. I’d love to hear you arguing this.
Lol I gave you a letter of a bunch of intelligence officially pointing out how it has the earmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign. I don’t I know what the truth is, you’re the one maintaining you know for sure it is not, without providing any evidence other than “the laptop is his” which we agree is not in dispute, but leaves a ton of other questions opened.
Again, read the fucking letter.
Of course the public can only respond to a story after it has been released.
We are discussing Facebook censoring (incorrectly identified) misinformation.
The response letter of ex spies had nothing do to with Facebook’s actions, which were actually based on misleading FBI warnings.
Again, at no point have you established as a fact that it was not Russian propaganda.
You want me to prove a negative? Ok. No russians were involved in fixing Hunter’s laptop.
contradicting your claim that the public misconception about it was due to FBI planting the seeds.
I made no such claim. In fact the opposite is true. The lack of public communication by the FBI about the origins of the laptop story is what is damaging.
I gave you a letter of a bunch of intelligence officially pointing out how it has the earmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign.
None of which were true, because it has been proven in court via serial numbers that the laptop is genuine. Claims of Russian propaganda are pure misinformation.
“the laptop is his” which we agree is not in dispute,
We agree this is true, so how then do the Russians fit into your conspiracy theory?
Again, read the fucking letter.
Again, the letter was sent 5 days after censorship began. It is not relevant.
