Its not a settlement its a bribe. There was no way Meta was going to lose a case about shutting down an account that its TOS gives them the ability to shut down for any and no reason
Giving it up to the fascist occupiers like those French women who ended up with shaved heads. Except, I have more respect for the women because they most likely did it for survival vs. pure greed.
That building better be made out of 100% fire proof and water proof materials, because its going to get pissed on, shit on, and I say we should try to burn it down every day.
Between google, meta and all the socials suckling the kings fingers... USA.is is headed full steam into being a massive surveillance Christo fascist country...
Trump and the RNC were literally on the verge of bankruptcy, mere moments away from never plaguing our society again, and 90M of yall just ... decided not only to throw him a lifeline, but to wipe the slate clean and oppress half the country
My favorite part right now? The far left "progressives" posting online blaming Biden and all Dems for every horrible thing tue Republicans are doing. Not blaming the Republicans at all. Entirely blaming the Dems for not being perfect enough. Simply amazing.
Repubs bitch about social media “infringing” their first amendment rights. Despite them violating terms of use all the time. So probably that. The dumbest shit possible.

I seem to recall FB shutting down curated moderation in mid-2016 being a particular turning point - not least because it led to an explosion in objectively-false content and giving Rumpy his all-too-easy "out" of "Fake News!". Not sure if there was anything in particular before that.
Post a link to the source or stop posting anything. This is not me assuming it's false. This is a standard that is so unfuckingbelievably easy to hold to, and unfuckingbelievably important, especially right now, that I can only understand one reason for a post to leave it out, and that's bullshit f
I appreciate that, @OP needs to put it in the post. Not a comment, the post description. I can look that up myself and I really do appreciate that you took the time to link that for me. I'm just calling out screenshots with no source because that's lazy bullshit and leads to misinformation easily
Yea, CNN did something similar in a defamation case with Trump. They had no reason to even take I seriously cause he had no grounds for a legal case. They settled it which is baffling till you realize it was a bribe.
What? No. It’s a tip. Bribes are illegal. Tips are totally fine. The difference is whatever SCOTUS says it is based on who’s br… I mean tipping them at the time
Haha no joke SCOTUS made this explicitly not a bribe in an opinion from last session. Snyder v. US (not a bribe if you don’t agree on it beforehand, ridiculous).
It’s not a settlement because there was no relevant court case. He had the right idea when he banned the account. America should have done the same thing we do with any traitor who attacks the country.
CU does not allow them to give money to trump directly, only to an unaffiliated PAC. This settlement method that even ABC recently used puts the money directly into trump's account.
Scotus said Trump is allowed to do anything. I think that includes getting bribes and even if it doesn't he could take anything to Scotus and get his wish granted.

25 million to build a presidential library for the Orange turd? That’s a lot of money for a building with two books: Art of the Deal and the Bible…

Oh so now he believes in restitution

That’s just a bribe

The Trump Presidential Library - 25000 copies of The Art of the Deal, unsigned, $125 a copy, signed $1250.

The Trump Presidential Library will probably be a collection of classified docs, and you can see whatever you want for $1M/hour.

Facebook has been a tool.of the ultraright for more than a decade. $25m is nothing compared to getting him elected twice.

There most certainly is a bone in his body; it's the one so far up his ass that it's contacting the base of his skull.

Nope. Trump would have lost this and the ABC case. He had no leverage to blackmail them. They settled in order to pay trump and get favors in return.

I’m talking about giving money directly to politicians. Not their campaigns/PACs.

Trump is renowned for finance violations and using his campaign funds to pay hush money, it's literally several of his 34 convictions.
