Joe Biden blasted Zuckerberg’s decision calling it “shameful.”
Outgoing President Biden weighed in on CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s decision to end the fact-checking programs on Meta’s platforms, calling it a “really shameful” choice since “telling the truth matters.”

Telling the truth matters,” Biden told reporters on Friday during an unexpected and rare question-and-answer session in the Roosevelt Room.
“I don’t know what that’s all about, it’s completely contrary to what America is about,” he added. “We want to tell the truth. The idea that a billionaire can buy something and say that they won’t fact check, and then you have millions of people reading it — I think it’s really shameful.”
