Meta to pay 25 million to settle lawsuit over Trump's suspended accounts
Meta Platforms has settled a lawsuit for USD 25 million related to the suspension of Donald Trump's accounts, without admitting wrongdoing, aiming to prevent further litigation.
Meta Platforms has agreed to pay USD 25 million to resolve a lawsuit stemming from the suspension of former President Donald Trump’s accounts on its platforms.
The lawsuit was initially filed in 2021 after Trump was banned following the January 6th Capitol riots. Meta has since faced criticism and scrutiny regarding its content moderation policies.
As part of the settlement, Meta did not admit to any wrongdoing and stated that the decision was made to avoid further litigation.
Legal experts suggest that this settlement may set a precedent for how tech companies handle high-profile users and content moderation in the future.
