Meta to pay $25 million to settle Trump lawsuit over social media ban
ai generated text
Meta has agreed to pay $25 million to settle a lawsuit brought by former US President Donald Trump, alleging wrongful censorship by Facebook and Instagram after the 2021 US Capitol riot. The settlement details indicate that $22 million will go towards a non-profit managing Trump's future presidential library, with the remaining $3 million covering legal fees and other expenses. This settlement does not require Meta to admit wrongdoing over the suspensions of Trump's accounts.
We now have a U.S. administration that is proud of our leading companies, prioritizes American technology winning, and that will defend our values and interests abroad. And I'm optimistic about the progress and innovation this is going to unlock.
