BRUSSELS — Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg was not telling the truth when he said the European Union was institutionalizing censorship, the bloc’s top tech official said.

He complained on the world's biggest podcast that in the last 10 years "people started pushing for ideologically based censorship."

The European Union seems powerless to counter the assault waged by the US president-elect and Big Tech, against laws designed to regulate the EU's digital space.

Meta is to get rid of fact checkers, loosen rules on hate speech and “push back” against Europe and other regulatory bodies that try to “censor” content through their own laws, according to CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

The European Commission on Wednesday dismissed Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's claim that European Union (EU) laws and regulations on online content amount to censorship of social media platforms.

Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk have accused the EU of protectionism and censorship, urging the administration of Donald Trump to intervene. The European Commission, however, defends its right to enforce EU regulations pertaining to digital giants.

Mark Zuckerberg's claims that EU data laws censor social media were firmly denied by the European Commission, which stated the regulations only target illegal content, not lawful material.
