Meta agrees to pay $25 million to settle Trump lawsuit over suspended accounts


Meta, along with nearly every other major tech company, suspended Trump’s accounts in 2021 after the Capitol attack by his supporters.

Meta has overhauled its content moderation policies to more closely align with the Trump administration, including allowing insults against transgender people and ending its independent fact-checking program in the United States. In late August, Trump published a book of photographs in which he said Zuckerberg “will spend the rest of his life in prison” if he does “anything illegal” to influence the presidential election. Zuckerberg said in a Jan. 7, 2021, post on Facebook that Trump’s refusal to condemn his supporters who stormed and occupied the Capitol showed that he “intends to use his remaining time in office to undermine the peaceful and lawful transition of power to his elected successor, Joe Biden.”
