Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg admitted
Thursday that his Meta platforms suppressed the Hunter Biden laptop story in the final weeks before the 2020 presidential election
after a visit from the FBI, retroactively saying now "it sucks" the
story wound up being verifiable.
"The
background here is the FBI basically came to us — some of the folks on
our team —and said, 'Hey, just so you know, you should be on high alert: We
thought there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election, we have it
on notice that basically there's about to be some kind of dump that's similar
to that, so just be vigilant," Zuckerberg told "The Joe Rogan Experience"
in a podcast interview posted Thursday.
Zuckerberg noted
Twitter fully blocked the Hunter Biden laptop story, while Facebook merely
suppressed it from being spread widely.
"For the
five or seven days when it was basically being determined whether it was false,
the distribution on Facebook was decreased," Zuckerberg told host Joe
Rogan.
Rogan pressed
Zuckerberg on just how much it was dialed down and Zuckerberg said "just a
little bit less."
"Fewer
people saw it than would have otherwise," Zuckerberg admitted, before
upping his estimation from "a little bit less" to "but, it's
meaningful."
"We thought,
hey look, if the FBI — which I still view as a legitimate institution in this
country; it's very professional law enforcement — if they come to us and tell
us we need to be on guard about something, then I want to take that
seriously," he added.
Zuckerberg was
not sure if it was specifically the Hunter Biden laptop story, but he said,
"it basically fit the pattern."
Rogan asked if
Zuckerberg has regrets about suppressing a story during the presidential
election's final days.
"Yeah, it
sucks," Zuckerberg said. "It turned out after the fact, after the
fact-checkers looked into it, no one was able to say it was false.
"I think it
sucks, though, in the same way that probably having to go through a criminal
trial but being proven innocent in the end sucks."
Still, Zuckerberg
defends Facebook's suppression of the story after the FBI's visit.
"I think the
process was pretty reasonable," Zuckerberg maintained, admitting it was
"a hyper-political issue."
