The investigative group had confronted Facebook Vice President of Integrity Guy Rosen over the company's ability 'to freeze commenting on threads in cases where our systems are detecting that there may be a thread that has hate speech or violence.'
Network executives secretly recorded by Project Veritas discussed a cover-up of the Biden story and disparaged President Trump's Cuban American supporters.
