After years of bickering with the Biden administration about vaccine misinformation, Mark Zuckerberg has now accused the White House of “repeatedly” pressuring Facebook for months “to censor certain COVID-19 content” in 2021 that Facebook supposedly would not have taken down without pressure.

In a letter to the US House of Representatives Judiciary Committee on Monday, the Meta CEO claimed that senior officials from the Biden administration “expressed a lot of frustration” when Facebook pushed back on certain content removal requests. According to Zuckerberg, the Biden administration didn’t just want misinformation taken down, but also “humor and satire.”
