Washington -Meta paid $ 25 million to resolve the lawsuit submitted by President Donald Trump to the company after the attack on Capitol on January 6, 2021. I agree.
It is the latest example of a large company that solves a lawsuit with the President, and he threatens retaliation against critics and rivals, and Mark Zuckerberg, Mark Zuckerberg, tries to invade himself into a new Trump. Management that has joined a large -scale technology company.
People who are familiar with this issue talked about the anonymity on Wednesday to discuss the contract. The two stated that the conditions for the contract include a $ 22 million contract for Trump's future presidential libraries, a legal expense and the balance in other liters.

The law generally exempts Internet companies from the responsibility of materials posted by users.
However, Trump and some other politicians should have lost their protection and lose their exemptions or at least reduced their protection. I've been claiming for a long time.
