"We just faced this massive, massive institutional pressure to start censoring content on ideological grounds," Zuckerberg said.

The company began censoring speech after receiving pressure from the Biden administration, Zuckerberg said. “It’s pretty bad” when you have “people in the Biden administration calling up the guys on our team and yelling at them and cursing and threatening repercussions if we don’t take things down that are true,” he told Rogan.

On an episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience" released Friday, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg painted a picture of Biden administration officials berating Facebook staff over requests to remove certain content from the social media platform.
