@theverge From the article: “We made some choices that, with the benefit of hindsight and new information, we wouldn’t make today,” Zuckerberg says. “Like I said to our teams at the time, I feel strongly that we should not compromise our content standards due to pressure from any Administration in either direction — and we’re ready to push back if something like this happens again.”

“Facebook began removing posts containing misinformation at the start of the pandemic and later expanded its reach to posts with false claims about the covid vaccine. It also took action against public figures and groups for spreading false claims.”
Is this the ‘censoring’?
Sure sounds like Zuckerberg is saying that he regrets combatting misinformation and wished he could spread it around instead.
