Zuckerberg (Facebook): It was the FBI who told us to censor the laptop story

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed Thursday that the FBI had warned Facebook of "Russian propaganda" shortly before Hunter Biden's laptop story was published in the NY Post.

" Basically, the context is that the FBI, I think, came to us, or some of our team members, and said, 'Hey, just so you know, you should be on high alert … a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election. We got the warning that, in practice, there is going to be some sort of disinformation operation similar to that. So be there, ”Zuckerberg told Rogan. Here is the video of the interview

Recall the story we refer to: Hunter Biden leaves his laptop in a repair shop in Wilmington, Delaware on April 12, 2019. The owner, John Paul Mac Isaac, visits the FBI office in Albuquerque. , where he explains what material they had left in his hands, but is rejected by the FBI. In practice, he was told: "Disappear". It was mid-September 2019.

Two months passed and then, out of the blue, the FBI contacted John Paul Mac Issac. Two FBI agents from the Wilmington office, Joshua Williams and Mike Dzielak, visit his firm. John Paul immediately offers to give them the hard drive freely. Agents Williams and Dzielak refuse to take the device.

Eight months later, Isaac provided a copy to then-President Donald Trump's attorney, Rudy Giuliani, who provided a copy of the hard drive to the NY Post, which began publishing the unencrypted content. Then, gradually, more material emerged from the records, with documents on trafficking with Ukraine, obscene photos and other compromising stuff.

Returning to Rogan, Zuckerberg expressed regret over suppressing a story that turned out to be true.

"Yes, yes. I mean, it sucks, ”he said, before defending the platform for letting others share the NY Post story, unlike Twitter which censored everything and even banned those who talked about it.

So Zuckerberg defends Facebook by claiming that the censorship of Hunter Biden's scandalous hard drives was the result of a direct intervention by the FBI in the election campaign, by having real documents censored. Then the FBI itself searches, on extremely fragile legal grounds, Trump's home in Mar-a-Lago. The funny thing is that then Biden talks about "Democracy", when the US is now, literally, rotten. All for a Democratic party that now rejects the will of the voters.
