Company founded and led by Mark Zuckerberg, Meta has agreed to pay $25 million in compensation to U.S. President Donald Trump to settle the lawsuits he filed after Facebook and Instagram suspended his accounts in 2021.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Meta’s decision to ban Trump from social media platforms due to incitement to violence at the Capitol was followed by this substantial financial agreement to settle the legal disputes.
Meta’s action did not go unnoticed by the press and the general public. The suspension of the former president’s profiles was seen as an unprecedented measure in social media history, and now the multimillion-dollar agreement marks a new chapter in this tumultuous relationship.
With Trump’s return to the White House and his favorable stance toward tech magnates, including Mark Zuckerberg, the compensation seems to be a step toward reconciliation between the parties. Meta’s CEO has shown flexibility and willingness to collaborate with the policies of the new U.S. government, seeking to align his company with these guidelines.
