In a letter to the House Judiciary Committee, Mark Zuckerberg finally admits that Meta was interfering in the news cycle.
Governments across the world seek to control the flow of information, particularly within their borders, and while it may be popular to think of Facebook as now being an app for grandparents and businesses, the truth is that it is still a titanic social media platform with robust utility for sharing information. With that in mind, the shadowed hand of Meta can have a huge effect on the visibility of certain stories.It was clear to anyone using Facebook during the pandemic, but Mark Zuckerberg has now admitted that his company was actively interfering in the free flow of information during the pandemic. He did so in a letter to the House Judiciary Committee, which has now been posted openly on said committee’s Facebook page.The tone of the letter is extremely corporate and we imagine at least a half-dozen lawyers were involved in crafting it. However, the content of the letter is still quite notable.
