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.
Fun fact, when you have $1T, $1M feels like what $100 feels like if you earn $100k
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?
Ive wondered if zuck was doing tons of illegal stuff, and a small subsection of that was aimed at trump, and trump came to know about it somehow.
And trump probably has plenty to throw him in jail, and zuck is begging for forgivenesa and he’ll never do it again.
Thats my personal guess because even meta’s opportunity to be successful doesnt line up with the amount of ass kissing going on. Its weird.
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.
Kiss the ring!
Smart move by facebook. You gotta go with the times.
Ring-kissing sycophantry
“The Donald Trump Library”
…it should just be comic books, porn magazines, and Nazi propaganda.
…it should just be porn magazines and Nazi propaganda.
FTFY
Too much reading involved in comics.
Just Nazi propaganda.
Trump doesn’t deserve porn.
Comics are far too gay friendly
I’m not a lawyer but does this not set a precedent for others in the same predicament to follow?
It doesn’t set any binding legal precedent, but it does send a message that has similar practical effects.
