On his Truth Social platform, Trump blamed them for "practicing election interference at the highest and most dishonest level our country had ever seen before" and clarified that this includes both the 2022 midterms and the 2024 presidential election.
Trump then accused federal law enforcement of allowing spying on his 2016 presidential campaign while doing nothing to stop it, stating that the FBI told Facebook and the media that Hunter Biden's laptop that recorded his and his family's scandals was "Russian disinformation" and said federal law enforcement doesn't want anyone to understand the Presidential Records Act, accusing them of being the ones actually in violation of the law. Trump ended his statement by stating, "RAID!"

"Basically, the background here is the FBI, I think, basically came to us- some folks on our team and was like, 'Hey, so that you know, you should be on high alert… We thought there was much Russian propaganda in the 2016 election. We have it on notice that there's about to be some kind of dump of that's similar to that. So just be vigilant,'" Zuckerberg told host Joe Rogan.

Zuckerberg insisted that Facebook users were "still allowed to share" the Post's reporting on the Hunter Biden laptop even as their "third-party fact-checking program" was looking into whether it was misinformation, but admitted that the "ranking in [the] news feed was a little bit less" and that "fewer people saw it than would've otherwise."

"By what percentage?" Rogan asked.
"I don't know off the top of my head, but it's meaningful," Zuckerberg responded. "But we weren't as black and white about it as Twitter. We just kind of thought, hey, look, if the FBI, which I still view is a legitimate institution in this country, it's very professional law enforcement- they come to us and tell us that we need to be on guard about something then I want to take that seriously."
