In the afternoon of 26 August 2024, the official Twitter account of the House Judiciary Committee (@JudiciaryGOP) released a striking message, revealing the latest remarks of Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta (Facebook's parent company). In a letter to the House Judiciary Committee, Zuckerberg admitted the following three things:

The Biden-Harris administration had "pressured" Facebook to censor the speech of American citizens.

Facebook did censor the speech of American citizens as requested.

Facebook suppressed reports involving Hunter Biden's laptop during the 2020 presidential election.

The House Judiciary Committee called the incident a "major victory for free speech." Zuckerberg's admission revealed the complex interaction between the government and social media platforms, sparking widespread public concern about free speech.

The letter was published by Meta and quickly sparked widespread discussion. Elon Musk directly retweeted the letter on Twitter and commented that the Biden administration's actions "violated the First Amendment." Since then, the letter has gone viral on Twitter, reaching 100 million people and sparking a lot of heated discussion.

In the letter, Zuckerberg detailed how the Biden administration repeatedly pressured Meta in 2021 to censor COVID-19 content, including humor and satire. Zuckerberg said Meta made some decisions in dealing with these pressures, but he now believes that the government's pressure was wrong and that Meta should have expressed its opposition earlier and more clearly. He also mentioned that Meta has changed its policies to ensure that it will not be compromised again in similar situations in the future.

In addition, Zuckerberg explained his donations through the Zuckerberg Initiative during the last presidential election cycle. These donations are intended to support election infrastructure nationwide to help voters vote safely during the epidemic. Although these donations are designed to be non-partisan, Zuckerberg acknowledged that some people believe that these donations are beneficial to a certain party. He emphasized that his goal is to remain neutral and does not intend to make similar donations in the current election cycle.

The letter reveals the tension between technology companies and the government and has sparked widespread discussion about free speech and government intervention. As the incident develops, the influence of the letter continues to expand, and public attention to the matter is increasing.

Today's X platform headline, which has reached 100 million people after being forwarded by Musk: Zuckerberg wrote a letter to the House Judiciary Committee, saying that he regretted accepting the pressure from the Biden administration to review Meta, and announced that he would not donate to the Democratic Party this year.
