Joe Rogan asked Mark Zuckerberg if he 'censored' the Hunter Biden laptop story. The CEO used the opportunity to defend the FBI as a 'legitimate institution.'

Facebook, now Meta, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said he thinks the FBI is a "legitimate institution" amid far-right GOP figures calling for the agency to be defunded following its raid of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence.

During a 3-hour segment on podcaster Joe Rogan's program, Rogan asked Zuckerberg how his company handles content that has heavy news attention, such as the controversial late 2020 New York Post story involving the laptop of now-President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, and if Facebook "censored that as well."

Zuckerberg said the FBI had already approached his company, warning them to be on the look-out for polarizing content, just as Russian propaganda made the platform its home around the 2016 US presidential election.
