"Who is 'they'?" Rogan asked. "Who was telling you to take down things that talk about vaccine side effects?"
"It was people in the Biden administration," the Meta CEO said.
Zuckerberg summarized that the conflict between his company and the government "basically 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."
Zuckerberg recalled initially pushing back against the Biden administration on things that are factually true or memes, but later recalled how the game changed when Biden "gave some statement at some point, I don't know if it was a press conference, or to some journalist, where he basically was like, 'These guys are killing people.'"
'Then, like, all these different agencies and branches of government basically just, like, started investigating and coming after our company. It was brutal, it was brutal," he said.
Rogan later asked about the response after the investigation, "was anybody held accountable? Was there any, I mean any repercussions?"
"I mean they lost the election," Zuckerberg joked.
