Zuckerberg Slams Biden Administration For Calling His Team to ‘Scream And Curse’ At Them Over Leo DiCaprio Memes

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg slammed President Joe Biden’s administration for demanding they remove Leonardo DiCaprio memes from the company’s platforms.

The billionaire technology mogul joined Joe Rogan for an interview published on Friday where he discussed the political censorship enforced on Meta’s platforms over the last decade. Recently, Zuckerberg has scrapped the company’s fact-checking program in the U.S. on Facebook, Instagram, and other Meta platforms.

During the episode of Joe Rogan Experience, Zuckerberg revealed that members of the Biden administration called his team screaming and cursing over memes:

ZUCKERBERG: I mean, basically, these people from the Biden administration would call up our team and like scream at them and curse. And it’s like these documents are it’s all kind of out there-

ROGAN: Did you record any of those phone calls? I don’t know.

ZUCKERBERG:  I don’t think we’ve…there are emails, the emails are published. It’s all it’s all kind of out there. And and they’re like — and basically it just got to this point where we were like, no, we’re not going to we’re not going to take down things that are true. That’s ridiculous. They want us to take down this meme of Leonardo DiCaprio looking at a TV, talking about how ten years from now or something, you know, you’re going to see an ad that says, okay, if you took a Covid vaccine, you’re eligible for, you know, like for this kind of payment, like this sort of like class action lawsuit type meme. And they’re like, no, you have to take that down. And we said, no, we’re not going to take down humor and satire. We’re not going to take down things that are true. And then at some point, I guess. And it flipped a bit. I mean, Biden, when he was he gave some statement at some point. I don’t know if his press conference or to some journalists were basically was like, these guys are killing people. And then like all these different agencies and branches of government basically just like started investigating coming after our company. It was brutal.
