    EXCERPT:

    DUFFY: “In many ways, this plays directly into this narrative that Republican lawmakers have been spreading that big tech companies censor the viewpoints of conservatives. There's not a ton of evidence of that, but a lot of what, you know, Zuckerberg is saying in this letter sort of does play into that narrative, and you already see Republican lawmakers celebrating this, saying that it's proof that the Biden-Harris administration tried to censor conservative voices and pressure big tech companies. I don't think that that's exactly what this letter is saying, but it potentially could be really beneficial to them heading into this election period. I think, certainly, what Zuckerberg is trying to do here is kind of hedge his bets and avoid any perception of bias, especially heading into the election. If the company ends up having to make some tough content moderation decisions about political misinformation, he doesn't want any allegations that was done at the behest of the Biden White House, Lynda."
