Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta is once again paying big bucks to get in good with Donald Trump. According to the company, the company will pay $25m to Trump to settle his suit against the organization.
The Lowdown
As highlighted by the Wall Street Journal, On Wednesday, the company announced its decision to settle a lawsuit filed by President Trump in 2021. The lawsuit raised concerns regarding allegations of censorship and the deplatforming of conservative voices on the Meta platform.
The Journal notes that the lawsuit came back up in discussions when Zuckerberg recently had dinner with Trump at Mar-a-Lago.
This amount is on top of the $1m Meta already spent towards Trump’s inauguration fund.
