(FBI is full of shit, they think everyone is stupid and they are just inserting another reason to never trust them. Saying FB wasn’t required to take action is BS. Now they are using the plausible deniability claim. Of course FB would take action its the FBI, because Zuck said “FBI is a "legitimate institution and that the warning prompted him to "take that seriously.")
FBI responds to Mark Zuckerberg claims in Joe Rogan show
The day after Mark Zuckerberg said that Facebook limited a polarizing story ahead of the 2020 election because of an FBI warning, the federal agency said it can only alert a private entity of a potential threat, not require it to take action.
The Facebook cofounder said the FBI is a "legitimate institution" and that the warning prompted him to "take that seriously." The story was allowed to remain on Facebook, albeit with limited exposure, Zuckerberg said.
In a statement Friday night, the FBI said it has provided companies with “foreign threat indicators” to help protect their platforms and customers, but that it “cannot ask, or direct, companies to take action on information received.”
“The FBI routinely notifies U.S. private sector entities, including social media providers, of potential threat information, so that they can decide how to better defend against threats,” the agency said.
Meta on Friday night responded to the FBI statement via Twitter. “The FBI shared general warnings about foreign interference — nothing specific about Hunter Biden," the statement said…
Somehave taken Zuckerberg’s remarks to Rogan to mean Facebook censored news to favor Joe Biden leading into the 2020 election.
(Kek,not some, but the majority of Americans believe that is what the FBI was doing, like 74% of right and left believed saying Hunter laptop being hidden definitely changed the election outcome)
In 2018, two third-party reports prepared for the U.S. Senate found that Russia used Facebook during the 2016 election to help Trump and hurt Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee, in part by inflaming right-wing conspiracy theories and sowing distrust among Black Americans.
IMHO: Now the excuses will come fast and furious,but why warn FB on Russia disinfo when it had been blasted for five full years, FB was already monitoring for Russians interference for many, many years? It would have been unnecessary since all media already know!
FBI must have known the 51 DS letter would be coming out, so it would be an easy connection for FB would limit the NYP article. It was inferring that Russia disinfo coming out so FB would take the hint and limit the exposure of Hunter’s laptop.
