The Biden Administration "pressured" Facebook-parent Meta to "censor" content related to Covid-19, the social media giant's CEO Mark Zuckerberg alleged, adding that he regrets some of the decisions taken in relation to the U.S. government's requests.

"In 2021, senior officials from the Biden Administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire, and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn't agree," Zuckerberg wrote in a letter to the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee.
