Meta agreed to a $25 million settlement over a 2021 lawsuit President Donald Trump brought against Meta for suspending his accounts after the January 6th insurrection at the US Capitol. The Wall Street Journal was the first to report the news, and Meta spokesperson Andy Stone confirmed the settlement to The Verge.

Here we are, three days into the second Trump administration, and the president has already served up ample reminders of what his political reign is like:

Donald Trump, the 47th President of the United States (POTUS), has been prophesied to put an end to the ongoing Ukraine-Russia warTrump, who was sworn in on Monday, January 20, was predicted to be the game changer in the economy of the world powers,

Former US President Joe Biden’s presidency was briefly omitted from Google’s list of US presidents. The issue, attributed to a ‘data error’, raised questions about tech giants’ reliability and neutrality in handling politically sensitive content.

Tech leaders should have a visible presence at Trump’s inauguration, with Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Tim Cook, Shou Zi Chew, Sundar Pichai, and Sam Altman all reported to be present. Musk is also scheduled to speak at a pre-inauguration rally, and Zuckerberg will reportedly host a black-tie event on Inauguration Day.

The company formerly known as Google has seen almost a 16 per cent rise in share price from when Trump was confirmed as having won the US election in early November, and while it has held fairly steady across the past month, the final week of Joe Biden’s administration did see an initial 1.6 per cent rise.

Google faced backlash after a glitch omitted Joe Biden from the list of US presidents, leading to accusations of bias.

On Monday, the biggest names in Silicon Valley, Apple CEO Tim Cook, Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg and Google CEO Sundar Pichai, joined “First Buddy” Elon Musk to watch Trump be inaugurated as the 47th president. Musk later stole the headlines following an appearance at a rally in which he made an “odd salute”.
