Meta to pay $25m to settle Trump lawsuit over ban

The president sued the firm in 2021 over the suspension of his accounts after the 6 January Capitol riots.

Trump sued the social media giant and its chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, in 2021 over the suspension of his accounts after the 6 January Capitol riots that year. Mr Zuckerberg on Wednesday said he thought that approach was important to keeping the US at the cutting edge, as countries around the world compete to become the key players in the still-emerging industry. He also spoke of plans to revive the "cultural relevance" of Facebook, the social media sight that launched his fortune but which has fallen out of favour compared to other offerings such as Instagram and tikTok.
