Meta Settles $25m Lawsuit with Trump Over Social Media Ban

Meta (formerly Facebook) agrees to a $25 million settlement with Donald Trump over his social media ban lawsuit, lifting restrictions on his accounts ahead of the 2024 election. The lawsuit alleged that Trump's suspension violated his rights and was politically motivated.

The settlement marks a significant shift in the relationship between Trump and Meta, with Zuckerberg visiting Trump's resort in Florida after the 2024 election. Twitter and Elon Musk had previously reinstated Trump's account.

Meta defended its $65 billion investment in AI amid the settlement.
