The billionaire says White House officials pressured Meta to remove content 'for months' in 2021.

Republicans called the letter, which is addressed to Jim Jordan, the chairman of the judiciary committee - which has been investigating content moderation on online platforms - a " big win for free speech". “Our position has been clear and consistent: we believe tech companies and other private actors should take into account the effects their actions have on the American people, while making independent choices about the information they present.” Mr Zuckerberg's Hunter Biden comments refer to a laptop abandoned by the president's son at a repair shop in Delaware, first reported by the New York Post.
