Facebook owner Meta to pay $25m to settle Trump lawsuit over ban

Trump has signed a settlement under which Meta will pay roughly $25m (£20m) to resolve his 2021 lawsuit against the company and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg over the suspension of his accounts after the 6 January Capitol riots. The Wall Street Journal first reported the settlement, and about $22m will go to a fund for Trump's presidential library. The balance will cover legal costs and other plaintiffs who joined the suit, and Meta will not admit wrongdoing.
