House Judiciary Committee member Kevin Kiley revealed that some Biden administration officials pressured Meta, Facebook's parent company, to censor content during the COVID-19 pandemic, including humor and posts related to Hunter Biden's laptop. In a letter to the committee, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg acknowledged this government pressure, stating it influenced decisions to suppress certain COVID-19 content and admitted regret over these actions. Kiley emphasized that such censorship represents a significant threat to democracy, calling for political accountability from the Biden administration.
