We thought that there was a lot of Russian propaganda on the 2016 election. We have it on notice that basically there\u2019s about to be some kind of dump similar to that,&#8217;\u201d Zuckerberg said. The CEO did not say precisely when the discussion took place.<\/p>\n<p>In mid-October, the New York Post published content from the abandoned laptop revealing that then-candidate Joe Biden had been lying when he repeatedly claimed that he never spoke business with his son, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/story\/2019\/08\/28\/biden-brother-business-2020-1476815\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">or with anyone else<\/a>.\u201d Emails found on the hard drive also <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/10\/15\/emails-reveal-how-hunter-biden-tried-to-cash-in-big-with-chinese-firm\/?utm_source=twitter_sitebuttons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">showed<\/a> that the former vice president stood to personally profit from Hunter\u2019s business dealings thanks to close affiliates with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). <\/p>\n<p>Moments after the stories broke, Facebook promptly <a href=\"https:\/\/thefdrlst.wpengine.com\/2020\/10\/14\/facebook-is-now-officially-censoring-the-new-york-posts-hunter-biden-bombshell\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">announced<\/a> through a corporate spokesman, who was previously a Democratic operative, that the company would be \u201creducing its distribution on our platform\u201d pending verification by third-party fact-checkers. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it was 5 to 7 days when it was basically being determined whether it was false,\u201d Zuckerberg said, without disclosing which third parties conducted the network\u2019s so-called fact check. \u201cFewer people saw it than would have otherwise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe just kind of thought if the FBI, which I still view as a legitimate institution in this country \u2014 it\u2019s like very professional law enforcement \u2014 they come to us and tell us we need to be on guard about something, then I want to take that seriously,\u201d Zuckerberg added, six years after the FBI orchestrated a failed hoax to indict President Donald Trump as a Russian agent. <\/p>\n<p><strong>[<a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/08\/26\/confirmed-fbi-colluded-with-big-tech-to-prevent-voters-from-learning-about-hunter-bidens-laptop\/Think%20The%20FBI%20Deserves%20The%20Benefit%20Of%20The%20Doubt?%20This%20Laundry%20List%20Of%20Corruption%20Should%20Make%20You%20Think%20Again\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">READ: Think The FBI Deserves The Benefit Of The Doubt?
