Meta to Pay $25M to Settle Trump Lawsuit Over Social Media Ban
US President Donald Trump has signed a legal settlement that will see Facebook and Instagram owner Meta pay out roughly $25m (£20m). 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. In July 2024, Meta lifted the final restrictions on Trump's Facebook and Instagramaccounts in the lead up to US presidential elections. The settlement was first reported by the Wall Street Journal.
