Tech giant Meta (formerly the Facebook company) has agreed to pay newly-elected US President Donald Trump the sum of $25 million to settle a 2021 federal lawsuit.
Recall that following the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, Trump sued Meta, claiming First Amendment violations and other issues, after the social media company banned him from Instagram and Facebook.
Trump sued Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg for allegedly participating in “impermissible censorship” by removing him from the social media sites, and the money settles that lawsuit.
