The American Technology Meta has agreed to pay $ 25 million to resolve the demand that the US president, Donald Trump, filed against her in 2021 for vetoing it in her social networks after the assault on the Capitol by her followers that year, according to revealed The Wall Street Journal. The newspaper, which quotes knowledgeable sources of the agreement, indicates that 22 million of the total will be used to finance the Trump Presidential Library and the rest to legal expenses and to compensate for other complainants.
The president sued his top executive, Mark Zuckerberg, after the technology suspended their Facebook and Instagram accounts after the assault on the Capitol of January 6, 2021, in which he encouraged his followers to prevent the certification of the Electoral victory of Democrat Joe Biden. All the main social networks followed the example, like Twitter, now renamed X by Elon Musk.
The agreement to close the dispute is produced just at a time of net approach from Zuckerberg to Trump, which has been accompanied by meetings between the two, a millionaire sponsorship of the investiture act and a change of speech by the Executive to align with that of the president in Issues such as freedom of expression, supposedly ‘alibi’ in the past years for progressive ideologies.
According to the newspaper, the conversations about the agreement progressed after a visit from Zuckerberg to Trump’s mansion in Florida in November, in which the then republican candidate took the subject and told him that the demand had to be resolved to “enter his Circle, ”said the sources.
Subsequently, at the beginning of January, the Executive returned to the mansion for a “whole day of mediation” that was interrupted by the virtual sentence in his criminal case in New York, and in which he played the golf, adds the newspaper. The agreement is similar to that reached Trump with ABC News for defamation in December, in which the chain agreed to pay 15 million dollars that will be allocated to a Trump presidential foundation and museum.
