Two years after the fact, Mark Zuckerberg admitted to Joe Rogan that yes, Facebook DID censor all information about the Hunter Biden laptop story.

The billionaire CEO of Meta said he regretted Facebook’s handling of the bombshell story during an appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience” — but he still defended the process as “pretty reasonable.”

Zuckerberg opened up about the controversial media suppression after the host pressed him to explain his views on how tech platforms should handle content moderation on sensitive subjects.

“Pretty reasonable” to engage in censorship of a media outlet? Reasonable to throttle stories and commentary regarding the same? It was reasonable to acquiesce to the FBI’s demand that Facebook ensure that the Hunter Biden laptop story gains NO traction prior to the 2020 election? 

When the NY Post broke the story, it was immediately branded Russian disinformation with 50 members of the intelligence community going to bat for the Biden family by writing a letter labeling the laptop info as bogus. Twitter and Facebook jumped in as well with Twitter banning the NY Post from the platform for over two weeks, while Facebook throttled the story as best it could. Because, you know, that was such a reasonable action to take according to Zuckerberg. 

Yes, during that interview, Zuckerberg said out loud a truth many of us already knew. The swamp had gone all in to ensure basement-dwelling Joe Biden was elected over Donald Trump. 

“Basically, the background here is the FBI, I think, basically came to us- some folks on our team and was like, ‘Hey, just so you know, like, you should be on high alert…  We thought that 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 … that’s similar to that. So just be vigilant,'” Zuckerberg told host Joe Rogan.  

We knew the Hunter Biden laptop story was real and the information on it was damaging to not only Hunter, but to Joe and to our national security. The NY Post knew that, as did many others. Now it’s confirmed that the FBI worked to have social media censor that information.

Their hatred of Trump has made that organization willfully blind as to how much of a national security risk Hunter and Joe really are to this country. 

but principled conservatives told me we should never question the FBI’s integrity. https://t.co/uqZaou9U3F

Zuckerberg claims he still views the FBI as a legitimate institution in this country. REALLY? Currently they are scrambling madly to ensure the warrant for the Mar-A-Lago raid isn’t made public, or if it is it’s heavily redacted, and their story on that warrant and raid is changing damned near every minute! 

Meanwhile, whistleblowers are now telling us that the FBI ordered agents to NOT look at or investigate anything to do with Hunter Biden’s laptop. 

“After the FBI obtained the Hunter Biden laptop from the Wilmington, DE computer shop, these whistleblowers stated that local FBI leadership told employees, ‘you will not look at that Hunter Biden laptop’ and that the FBI is ‘not going to change the outcome of the election again,’” Johnson wrote. “Further, these whistleblowers allege that the FBI did not begin to examine the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop until after the 2020 presidential election–potentially a year after the FBI obtained the laptop in December 2019.”

The FBI legitimate?? Not hardly. And, to the surprise of no one of rational and critical thought, a poll verifies that the laptop story would’ve changed the outcome of the election. 

A whopping 79 percent of Americans suggest President Donald Trump likely would have won reelection if voters had known the truth about Hunter Biden’s laptop—that it was real and not “Russian disinformation,” as intelligence officials aligned with Joe Biden falsely led the public to believe, a new national poll reveals.

The survey of 1,335 adults was conducted earlier this month by New Jersey-based Technometrica Institute of Policy and Politics. The vast majority of those following the issue said they believe that the laptop is real, while only 11 percent still believe it was created by Russia.

Both the Washington Post and the New York Times admitted recently that the laptop and the information on it was real. And received a multitude of well-deserved ‘I told you so’s!’ Now we have Mark Zuckerberg telling us that yes, per the FBI’s ‘request,’ Facebook DID throttle the Hunter Biden laptop story. 

Want to know how important this new information from Mark Zuckerberg is about censoring the Hunter Biden laptop information? It’s so important that the Washington Post isn’t reporting on it AT ALL. It’s so important that Politico has zipped their lips. It’s radio silence from the New York Times. 

This news doesn’t fit the chosen narrative, so they are self-censoring it. 

By Facebook’s agreement to the FBI’s demand, and that is what it was a DEMAND, Facebook AND the FBI interfered in the free exchange of information pertaining to a crucial election in this country.

The simplified version: FBI tells @facebook to censor the distribution of specific information as relates to Hunter Biden’s laptop, and Facebook does. How exactly does this not make Facebook a state actor for the specific action? https://t.co/UD6xF4MTBF

Yes, the FBI interfered in the 2020 election. Zuckerberg just admitted that out loud. 

UPDATE: Facebook’s Meta Newsroom spin makes things worse, not better for the company.

None of this is new. Mark testified before the Senate nearly two years ago that in the lead up to the 2020 election, the FBI warned about the threat of foreign hack and leak operations: https://t.co/bcRTgSe44L
