President Trump on Wednesday settled a lawsuit that will require Meta to pay about $25 million, most of which will fund a presidential library, multiple outlets reportedand a source familiar confirmed to Axios.
Why it matters: Meta shut down Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts for about two years after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. However, since Trump’s reelection, CEO Mark Zuckerberg has cozied up to the new administration.
Trash. Meta practically catered to Russian interference. What a great business guy /s
TIL Zuckerberg loves the taste of boots.
Smart move by facebook. You gotta go with the times.
So another bribe?
Exactly
How the fuck? A private company closed an account on their own server, within full compliance of their own terms and regulations, and somehow he can sue and profit from it?
It’s a bribe disguised as a settlement.
Zuckerborg praised Trump in an earnings call according to an article saw on here.
So the guy paid the nonsense fine and praised the leader after.
Ring-kissing sycophantry
I’m not a lawyer but does this not set a precedent for others in the same predicament to follow?
