Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg exposed the ‘censorship regime’ of the outgoing Biden administration in a podcast with Joe Rogan.
During the podcast published on Friday (10th January), Zuckerberg stated, “These people from the Biden administration would call up our team and scream at them and curse.”
The Meta founder said that although he had no call recordings, the emails were available for public access. “It just got to this point where we were like, No, we are not gonna take down things that are true. That is ridiculous,” he added.
