Mark Zuckerberg, owner of social media giant Meta, made remarkable claims about the epidemic period in a podcast he participated in. Zuckerberg targeted the Biden administration and said, “There was intense pressure on us to remove correct content,” and claimed that anti-vaccine content was censored.

Zuckerberg used the following statements in the publication in question:
**”They put intense pressure on us to remove things that were obviously true. They said that any content containing statements about the side effects of vaccines should be removed. However, I conveyed that we could not do this. These demands came from people in the Biden administration.”**

Additionally, Zuckerberg stated that he made it clear that they would not fulfill these demands. However, after this, he claimed that Biden pointed to Meta in his statements and said “These are killing people” and that his company was targeted by many government institutions after these statements.
