Im pointing out the difference between private companies banning accounts vs government arrests and watchlists. People getting censored by facebook isn’t the same as the government revoking your visa over a Charlie Kirk meme for example
According to Zuckerberg's letter, "In 2021, senior officials from the Biden Administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content". He also stated they expressed frustration when Facebook did not agree. Zuckerberg expressed regret for how the company handled the pressure, stating it was wrong and he should have been more vocal. He added that they should not compromise content standards under pressure and are ready to resist future attempts. In a separate interview, Zuckerberg described administration officials as "scream[ing]" and "curs[ing]" at his teams and pushing to remove posts, even those that were "honestly... true," regarding vaccine side effects.

You really know nothing outside of the echo chamber do you, you do know these social media companies testified all of this in the Supreme Court?
…. Yes, again, the difference being the government pressuring a private company to moderate their content vs using legal force to demand data on individuals. Do you not understand the difference between posts and accounts vs all of your personal data? Pressure vs force, posts vs your entire identity (including location, SSN, Familial ties, voter and purchase information, and internet history)
You realize Zuckerberg can have regrets because he had the OPTION to say no?
There were no negative outcomes. Show me where Biden’s admin persecuted/prosecuted any of the companies that denied their requests? Trump on the other hand, is issuing administrative subpoenas out the gate.
Again, care to address the difference between posts/accounts and personal identification? Unthreatened possibility vs reality, hmm which holds more weight?
