Great, years later, at a time when it seems that no one cares about the issue, nor will anyone in a position of capability actually do anything about what he now admits, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg says he was working with the White House specifically to censor Americans by removing content on social media and he regrets it.
Just effen’ perfect…. The zombie minded leftist killers of speech and information, have overwhelmed the ramparts, crossed the moat, destroyed our gates, constitutional defenses and drawbridges, and are now bashing loudly on the interior doors in their bloodlust effort to take full control. Meanwhile the few of us who remain are on the other side of that splintering door; veins bulging, muscles strained, pushing and holding back with all our might against every surge and attack wave…. and Zuckerberg nervously says, “whoops, sorry for dropping the drawbridge guys.” Good grief Mark, shut up and grab an axe now!
.
Sometimes you just have to laugh at the revelations people have, when they have them, and their abject failure to see how monumental the damage was/is as a result of their previous stupidity.
The city on the hill is burning, we are trying to save the women and children, and Zuckerberg is saying, “hey, sorry guys – but I let the drawbridge down because they seemed like such nice people.”….
It’s truly not a matter of forgiveness even playing a part of this process any longer. Spiritually and psychologically, I am prone to forgive everyone now, even the ‘dindunuffins’, not because I can manifest my better angels – but rather because their faces are just so mind-dummingly fraught with stupidity, and I just want to cherish the remaining embers of liberty in peace without having to notice Zuckerbergs’ existence.
Maybe this admission by Zuckerberg will help a few dozen more hardcore leftists wake up.
I shall pray it does.
Zucker-creep regrets getting caught.
Just further justification for me NEVER going on Facebook or any other social media platform. Discus is questionable at best, but I just gotta.
“It worked, didn’t it?”
This behavior is called better get a seat on the DJT/MAGA train or get left at the station.
2021: “I think Facebook is censoring true information at the behest of the Biden Administration”
“Stop with your fever-swamp rantings of crazed right-wing conspiracy theories.”
Zuck is a low T soi boi. Gutless, spineless and probably couldn’t impregnate a woman.
Could he actually be afraid (gasp?) of being charged with ELECTION INTERFERENCE?!!!!
Why do I get the distinct impression that somebody is trying to cover his butt before the election takes place. “Just in case” the election comes out the way we all hope it will. I’d submit, it’s a little late to be covering your fanny at this point in time.
guarenteed the 5 eyes guys knew he was going to write this letter … thus the arrest in France to “remind” him what happens to those who don’t censor …

@NicoleShanahan
It’s refreshing to see Zuck finally acknowledge what we’ve all known: censorship of free speech is fundamentally wrong. But let’s be honest, words alone aren’t enough. A real shift begins with transparency. Facebook can start by making every government contract and request for speech suppression public and open source. Nothing should be hidden.
Cont…
Maybe even free access by Shellenberger and Taibbi for the Facebook Files expose like they did twitter.
But he won’t, of course.
Just sayin’…
“finally”?????
He does this all the time. AND THEN Facebook commits the next outrage.
Why do the letters CYA come to my mind so easily??
“Refreshing” is a strange choice of words in connection with someone admitting to shutting down the 1st Amendment to assist in a massive election coup d’état using Covid-19 as a ruse to get mail in ballots for harvesting by Democrats? Which election brought us the incompetent, horrific Biden Administration!!! “Horrifying” is a better choice of words for me. Interesting there is no discussion of consequences for such massive outright censorship!!! Millions of us had our God given Constitutional 1st Amendment rights stripped from us for only a mea culpa letter? The act of mealy contrition with no consequences seems disproportionate to me! There should be punishment for the stripping of Constitutional rights??? JMO
EVERYONE, including businesses, need to stop using & advertising on Facebook & turn this dodo bird into a pauper. That’s how us normal people can fight back.
Because there’s nothing or no one out of the FJB-Ho Administration saying they won’t threaten him or anyone else with withdrawing Sec. 230 immunity protection again.
Zuck’s being transparent. He cc’d: Jerry Nadler
That’s a heads-up, imo. What forced him to write the letter?
Jim Jordan’s committe on censorship forced FOIA
He regrets it my 🫏.
I have been banned from Facebook for life. Does this mean that they are going to let me back in??? I felt betrayed because I thought that we had a deal. They could sell my data in exchange for allowing me to speak my mind. They breached the contract.
There are two reasons that I might want to go back. First to keep better contact with some friend and family who live hundreds of miles away. And second to post memes supporting President Trump.
But I think that I’ll pass for now.
Don’t you have email?
You know, you can always create an email with multiple recipients.
We used to call it a mail LIST.
Need to look back to listserv, it amazes me how ignorant people using the Internet are.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LISTSERV
It’s like driving a car without knowing there’s a motor somewhere in the power train.
Bose users, I guess.
I hear you, but please – take it easy on those of us who live our lives doing things other than becoming proficient to the degree you are in the use of a technology that is here to serve us while we do those things.
I’d like to think that my life’s accomplishments beyond pursuing technological excellence have been more worthwhile to the people I have served. (Maybe I’ll write a song, “I Could Have Been a Nerd.”)
And you’re forgiven for saying “it amazes me how ignorant people using the Internet are.” That smarts a little although you probably didn’t mean what you said.
In closing, thanks for the listserv tip. That was helpful, even though I might not use it – but copied it for future reference.
a gracious reply
I appreciate your etiquette, fly
Aw now, that’s a cheap shot at Bose. Only the most insufferably sanctimonious of so-called “audiophiles” say stuff like that.
At Facebook you’re not the customer.
You’re the product!
Ditto that! I was banned for life, for posting the NY Post article about Hunter’s Laptop.
Funny, I banned Facebook from my life, when I first heard about it, and have never looked back.
Nicely done, Nancy. I never got on Facebook but would be proud to wear that banner “Banned by Facebook for telling the truth.”
I was banned for a meme of FJB fondling children with the caption, “Stop pretending that this is normal.”
I was wondering the same. Several Trump groups to which I belonged in 2019 were taken down by FB and I was shut out of it as a result. I withdrew before they banned me. I have no interest in supporting Meta in any way, so I won’t be going back.
Why he isn’t being charged with election interference is the real mystery, but I’m not so naive as to believe anything will come of this admission of his.
They are now and have been for a while banning people by IP address…. so you can’t even create a new account if ZuckTurd doesn’t like your Politics, etc. Pure communist BS.
Get off F###book and any of their derivatives, for your own safety and sanity. The corruption is lurking right under the surface.
Most of the “social media” sites are designed to suck information from people.
When I first heard of it, in 2006, my first thought was that people wouldn’t be so narcissistic that they had to post what they had for breakfast.
I was so wrong… I could have bought FB stock early on… oh well…
Now then, forums have existed since the mid 80s… but they required a bit of understanding… as in figuring out how to turn the key in the car…. of course, cars nowadays don’t have keys, just a fob in your pocket.
I still prefer forums though. They are designed for posting thoughts, not pictures.
And I prefer cars with a key, and without a computer.
Know anybody who’s tried to get around when the Smartkey’s minibrain had a stroke? It’s tough. I know people who have been thus traumatized. My thirty-year-old Dodge pickup and I are with you, dutch.
Sundance does some of his best work on X fighting the good fight against the demons who want to destroy this nation.
Twitter is not Facebook. Facebook is “please post you’re photos, tell us all about yourself, your family & friends so we can learn how to intimidate you & sell your information.”
Apology accepted. Now, seppuku. Here’s your tanto, Marc.
He’ll do it again.
Ok, but what about all the election stuff that was censored and how about remove the strikes against our accounts and restoring our pages?
I’ll believe the i’m sorry when you make things right, shithead.
Didn’t you intend to use a capitol S in your corrected spelling of Zuckerberg?
When do all of the “Brought to you by Pfizer” news networks and stations get destroyed for only allowing the voice of the $$$$$ loving masters at Big Pharma censor and silence the truth?
Isn’t interfering with a federal election a crime? So when do the US Marshals arrest M Zuckerberg? He just confessed.
US Marshals work for Merrick Garland and the Chief Federal Judge in Washington DC.
I don’t think Zuckerberg needs to worry!
Good point. Two tier justice system
Zuckerberg apologies are as frequent as the morning dew.
When has he not apologized for anti-privacy, anti-free speech actions by his company?
That is the one constant in his appearances before Congress.
Zuckerberg communicating with Congress will always include an apology and the beat goes on.
Shameless, insincere, untrustworthy => Zuckerberg.
Meanwhile the few of us who remain are on the other side of that splintering door; veins bulging, muscles strained, pushing and holding back with all our might against every surge and attack wave…. and Zuckerberg nervously says, “whoops, sorry for dropping the drawbridge guys.”
This line will live on forever… Never have I got chills from reading something so on target.
A wheel must stop spinning or sliding to gain traction. That is all that is going on here.
Fox TV News headline:
Zuckerberg Admits to Biden-Harris Censorship
… not FBI, not DOJ, not Homeland Security …
going straight to the top and tagging Harris along with Biden
good job, headline writer
Being honest is a great start .. the rest will follow if he’s a man of integrity. I think he’s finally growing up.
At least there won’t be more zuckerbucks splashing around to fund
inner city ballot harvesting programsvoter outreach in challenged communities.We should be seeing arrests, both from the willingly coerced at Facebook and from those who did the coercing.
Honestly – I’m thankful he was basically caught and admitted his wrong doing. I think he’s seeing the good guys win and he doesn’t want to loose face. I also think we are starting to see the ripple affect that Musk started and Trump plus others working overtime trying to unit our country. RFK along with others have taken a huge risk for the love of our children. God Bless them and keep them safe with their eyes fixated on our CREATOR – the maker of miracles
I think he’s afraid of losing business. He can read the tea leaves and wants to forestall antitrust suits against Facebook. He doesn’t want his business turned into a utility with limited profits.
He’s afraid that Donald Trump is going to burn his ass when he is elected President and he is trying to cover said ass!
The comments from many are naive. In case you forgot……or never knew. One word………….LIFELOG!
LIFELOG!

Facebook was originally a CIA program called “LifeLog”.
LifeLog, via DARPA, was terminated on Feb. 4th, 2004.
Facebook was launched on Feb. 4th, 2004.
Many of the LifeLog team became executives of Facebook.
Mark Zuckerberg is a figurehead.

Pentagon Kills LifeLog Project
THE PENTAGON CANCELED its so-called LifeLog project, an ambitious effort to build a database tracking a person’s entire existence.
Run by Darpa, the Defense Department’s research arm, LifeLog aimed to gather in a single place just about everything an individual says, sees or does: the phone calls made, the TV shows watched, the magazines read, the plane tickets bought, the e-mail sent and received. Out of this seemingly endless ocean of information, computer scientists would plot distinctive routes in the data, mapping relationships, memories, events and experiences.
LifeLog’s backers said the all-encompassing diary could have turned into a near-perfect digital memory, giving its users computerized assistants with an almost flawless recall of what they had done in the past. But civil libertarians immediately pounced on the project when it debuted last spring, arguing that LifeLog could become the ultimate tool for profiling potential enemies of the state.
It sounds more like the NSA databanks, than like facebook.
Mind you, I could see Faceplant being creates in order to be ONE source, for data.
Mark Zuckerberg = Eddie Haskell
Not a drop of sincerity.
Never trust this guy.
This is self-preservation. He did not have an epiphany seeing Trump’s “badass” response to being shot, as he would have us believe, rather, it was Trump’s subsequent tweet warning him to “be careful” because accountability for illegal censorship was coming that has changed his outlook.
Zuck has his finger on the pulse of public opinion like no one else in the world, and he knows Trump has an excellent chance of prevailing this November. And he’s covering his bases accordingly.
Nothing would please me more than to see Zuckbug lose his wealth. I despise Fakebook. Got off it long long ago. I’m waiting with bated breath for Fakebook to go the way of MySpace.
I seriously wish more people would abandon it. I hate that my generation (Boomers) doesn’t wake up and get the hell off it. They are the worst in using Fakebook.
I abandoned it years ago. I got tired of having to speak in code to try to avoid fb jail.
This will probably be the next Sundance article. Jack the Sh&&&eer and his commie actions
Zuckerberg’s letter gives me hope that a Trump victory is the most likely outcome. He only did it because they forced him.
Maybe I am biased but all the power levers favor government. When Big Government tells a girly man like Zuckerberg to censor, Zuckerberg censors. When Big Government asks Zuckerberg to donate 500 million to get Democrats to vote. Mark says how about 600 million.
When Big Government tells Blackrock to loan money to subprime borrowers or finance stupid CO2 storage facilities, the only thing they say is how many. Government is the Mafia writ large. They might not point the gun at you but it is out of the holster. When government says they will prevent another like Trump from ever occuring again, that is a warning for the rest of us.
When government tells businesses to spend Billions on EVs that no one wants and no infrastructure to support, the Auto companies try to get the most free money they can from government. The smart ones will survive the EV stupidity and the fools will either go bankrupt or we get to bail them out.
It is the taxpayer and country that always loses. The solution is to reduce the money available to the federal government. Shrink it. I don’t think we can ever make it too small. Then we need to do the same with the State government. Tennessee’s Deparrment of Health and Dept of Education need to be shuttered. Those two have ruined education and ruined health. We don’t need them.
I think the arrest of Durov by the French got ole Zuckerbucks’ attention. The globalists – much like the CCP – don’t care if you are worth billions. If you become a problem for them, they will not hesitate to take you out. Or at least make your life as miserable as possible. I also think Zuckerbucks is sensing the rising tide of great unwashed getting a little tired of being ignored and played.
Reminder that the Fauci emails showed
A) Zuckerberg reached out to Fauci, not the other way around
B) Zuckerberg offered an exisiting but as yet unused vector to promote propaganda.
Curiously he does not apologize for or even bring this behavior up. I wonder why….
Zuckerberg may have been duped/pressured/blackmailed into censorship as he claims, but his actions suggest someone whose natural instincts including reaching out to and cooperating with Big Government.
Looking at Zucks mea culpa, in the larger context of “the NARRATIVE” it seems to me its a GOOD thing, for ‘our’ side.
Like the twitter files, it confirms what we already knew, but that many were dismissing as a Conspiracy theory. (That the Gov. was pressuring social media to censor, as the Missouri suit alleges, trying to circumvent the BoR, by having private companies do what the Government is forbidden from doing.
It even buttresses our narrative that the Government can bully a company, no matter how big, into doing its bidding.
And, I note Zuck is saying no bucks, this time around which is definetly a good thing.
Does he succeed in persuading people that he is just a victim here, and his zuckbucks financing drop boxes was an altruistic act, cause Covid, blah, blah,..?
Am doubtful he would ever experience any legal punishment, for his role in “the Steal”,..but IF he is trying to begin laying out his defence, that means he is convinced PDJT will win,…or at least he is hedging his bets in case he does, and thats a good sign I guess.
Perhaps Zuck has a sense that President Trump will be taking the oath of office in January 2025 and is trying to avoid a large hammer directed at his company as well as personally.
I’m with Sundance about this election and the social media cabal that is working so hard to take away our freedom; put them in a hard place financially and cancel their censorship practices.
Enough of their abuse. Make it painful legislatively and financially.
When that bandwagon gets rolling, there are many who will do anything to get on it.
His ass is getting ahead of the flak when Trump wins he knows what’s coming……
I forgive NONE of them.
Those scum stole our FREEDOMS then stole our COUNTRY.
I want to see them ALL HANG.
NO clemency. NO pardons.
Just the trap door, a snapping sound, then silently swaying back and forth.
NEXT!
A trial, conviction, and execution for his role in the election fraud and crimes against humanity in covering up the medical truths surrounding Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, the deadly jab, etc. would make him feel even more horrible…and should be in his future.
It would seem, Telegram, founder Pavel Durov’s arrest in France may have had an effect on Zuckerberg. Maybe…..
But he still allows conservatives to go to fb jail for speaking the truth!
Suck only made this announcement because the IC told him to.
Zuherbuck is running scared .. action speaks louder then words, the proof is in the pudding ..
The stench of the BS in this admission is so palatable, it would choke a carburetor.
Zuck knew what he was doing. Now, he sees that it is likely Trump may be re-elected and he changes his tune with a useless Mea culpa. It’s not like Zuck has the spine of a jellyfish or the morals of a windsock; he does have principles which are all aligned to enrich himself.
If he actually is concerned and troubled by his error, then release all the conversations and examples of pressure by the Biden/Harris team so the world can see who they are. Anyone wanna bet that happens?
What is regrettable is that Mr. Zuckerberg is not in prison.
Zuckerberg and Clinton crony Sandberg had been shadow banning Trump since before the 2016 election. They censored his posts when they were reshared on other people’s profiles. That is the simplest form of Election interference, need we not mention all the other BS.
Contact all representatives and blast them for doing absolutely nothing. Can we all collectively sue Zuckerberg?
I’m not buying.
Zuckerberg is trying to reposition himself, get out of the fire zone, and somewhat neutralize his opposition by rewriting his own history with a slant toward the faux forthright tone (supported by confession to a minor sin but not the full slate) that he brings forth here.
To repeat: I’m not buying. He’s attempting to manipulate Jordan, et al, by appearing to take what’s left of the moral high ground – and playing on the sympathies of those who say, “Aww… he coming around.”
I hope Jordan continues to hold his feet to the fire, and issues some injunctions regarding how he pimps out his media whore company and where he puts his own money re: campaign and NGO contribution until the election is over.
Zuckerberg is, in the Biblical serpent sense, a snake.
At what point do we say, “Thank you! Let’s sit down and solve the problems.” At this point, who cares what everyone’s past was. They know they’re as dead as we are.
