Meta to pay Trump $25 million settlement for shutting his accounts after Jan. 6
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.
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.
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.
So another bribe?
Exactly
"The Donald Trump Library"
....it should just be comic books, 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
This is a really neat way to directly bribe a government official
TIL Zuckerberg loves the taste of boots.
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.

Spread those ascheeks, zucky boy.
You won't feel a thing.
This is pocket change for him. I don't think there's much spreading going on.
Trash. Meta practically catered to Russian interference. What a great business guy /s

Fun fact, when you have $1T, $1M feels like what $100 feels like if you earn $100k
Wrong. It would be like 10 cents for someone who has 100k.
Smart move by facebook. You gotta go with the times.
