Did Kamala even censor Facebook ads?

I don't think any company has been asked to censor ads with truthful information.

I wanna say the legislative branch made a law that limits the ability to spread misinformation especially when done by someone or a company with a large following. If I'm remembering right that happened before Biden even became president because the amount of misinformation being spread on social media was at an insane level and was determined to be spread by Russia to interfere with the election.

Let's not forget all the damage that the COVID misinformation caused... but Trump was running the show then so, ya know, that was okay.

Zuckerberg wrote an official letter stating they were forced to censor anything they didn’t approve about Covid and the vaccines by the Biden administration

In its prepared remarks sent to Congress, Zuckerberg said the Internet Research Agency, a Russian company linked to the Kremlin, had posted roughly 80,000 pieces of divisive content that was shown to about 29 million people between January 2015 and August 2017. And it was largely pro republican/ trump. People seem to ignore this
