Trump Reaches Settlement with Meta Over Facebook Suspension
January 30, 2025 - 08:52
Former President Donald Trump has officially signed a settlement agreement to conclude a lawsuit he filed against Meta in 2021. The legal action stemmed from Meta's decision to suspend Trump's Facebook account following the events surrounding the Capitol riots. The settlement, amounting to $25 million, has been structured in a way that directs the majority of the funds to support Trump's presidential library.
This agreement marks a significant moment in Trump's ongoing relationship with social media platforms, as he has been vocal about his grievances regarding their policies. The suspension of his account had a notable impact on his ability to communicate with supporters and influence public discourse during his presidency and beyond.
The settlement not only resolves the legal dispute but also provides financial resources that will contribute to the establishment and maintenance of Trump's presidential library. This library is expected to serve as a repository for his legacy, housing documents, artifacts, and other materials from his time in office.
