He’s sorry, not sorry.
Data geek Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg claimed this week he didn’t realize $400 million he spent on “getting out the vote” in the 2020 election benefited one party over the other.
But Republican sources are skeptical that the Facebook boss was unaware his so-called “Zuck Bucks” — pledged to help finance fair local elections — were spent unevenly after being given to two known left-wing organizations.
“My goal is to be neutral and not play a role one way or another — or to even appear to be playing a role. So I don’t plan on making a similar contribution this cycle,” Zuckerberg wrote in his letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) this week.
The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, an organization led by Zuckerberg’s wife, Priscilla Chan, gave more than $350 million to the Center for Technology and Civic Life (CTCL) and the Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR) on the pretense of getting out the vote to everyone.
But the administrators of those groups had deep ties to the left, researchers told The Post, including CTCL founder Tiana Epps-Johnson, a former Obama Foundation fellow.
“Based on this letter he’s either being disingenuous or he didn’t do his due diligence on the people he gave money to,” Hayden Ludwig, director of research at Restoration News, told The Post.
The people who founded CTCL come from a defunct group called the New Organizing Institute, Ludwig notes. And back in 2014, CNN quoted a GOP operative who called the New Organizing Institute “the Left’s New Death Star.”
“These were people whose entire jobs were figuring out how to elect Democrats. Personally I think he went home and quietly congratulated himself on helping get Joe Biden elected. He found a big loophole and put $350 million into it,” Ludwig says. --->READ MORE HERE

The Issue: Mark Zuckerberg’s apology for bowing to Biden administration pressure to censor Meta users.
It’s nice to see Mark Zuckerberg finally realized he was being used as a tool by the left (“Zuck Comes Clean,” Editorial, Aug. 28).
He confirmed what most of us suspected all along.
Democrats and the Biden administration pressured Meta to use its vast social-media reach to gaslight the American people about everything from COVID to the 2020 presidential election.
This Orwellian nightmare, in part, enabled four years of Democratic overreach and incompetence that has wrecked our economy, destroyed our border and weakened national security.
Mark Zuckerberg is a smart guy.
Let’s hope he’s smart enough to continue to see through the lies the Dems have been serving up for years.
Even if this means getting kicked out of the “cool” kids group of American elites.

Democracy requires that the public be properly informed, yet it is patently clear that the Biden-Harris government sought to misinform the American public because it did not want them to know the truth.
This is shameful.
One example of this disregard for the First Amendment was the censorship of this newspaper, which exposed the Hunter Biden laptop story.
This censorship hurt our country.
All those involved in censoring free speech need to be exposed and punished, with no exceptions.

Zuckerberg has finally admitted that his platform was pressured by the government to suppress articles, including the one from The Post on the Hunter Biden laptop story.
How does this not count as election interference?
Zuckerberg should be brought back in front of Congress to answer questions under oath.
Not only did he essentially work to influence an election, but he prevented Americans from accessing important information regarding COVID from well-known and highly regarded doctors.
