Meta Reaches Multi-Million-Dollar Settlement With Trump Over 2021 Ban

Facebook parent company Meta announced Wednesday that it will be paying $25 million to settle a lawsuit with President Donald Trump, which was brought after he was banned from Facebook and Instagram in the aftermath of the January 6 Capitol protests in 2021.

Meta filed notice of the settlement in a federal court in San Francisco on Wednesday, just about four years after the lawsuit was initially brought. Meta spokesman Andy Stone later confirmed that the platform will be paying a total of $25 million to settle the claim, $22 million of which will be going towards a fund for Trump’s future presidential library. The remaining balance will go towards paying legal fees and other plaintiffs in the case.

Stone added that the settlement means the company will not have to admit to any wrongdoing. The White House has yet to offer an official comment, though a legal representative told Business Insider that the president signed the settlement in the Oval Office.



The story was first reported by the Wall Street Journal as Meta was set to report their quarterly earnings. While Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg did not comment on the settlement directly, he did say during the earnings call that 2025 will be a “big year for redefining our relationship with governments.”

“We now have a US administration that is proud of our leading companies, prioritizes American technology winning, and that will defend our values and interests abroad,” Zuckerberg said. “And I am optimistic about the progress and innovation that this can unlock.”

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
