    How the fuck? A private company closed an account on their own server, within full compliance of their own terms and regulations, and somehow he can sue and profit from it?

      Zuckerborg praised Trump in an earnings call according to an article saw on here.

      So the guy paid the nonsense fine and praised the leader after.

      Ive wondered if zuck was doing tons of illegal stuff, and a small subsection of that was aimed at trump, and trump came to know about it somehow.

      And trump probably has plenty to throw him in jail, and zuck is begging for forgivenesa and he’ll never do it again.

      Thats my personal guess because even meta’s opportunity to be successful doesnt line up with the amount of ass kissing going on. Its weird.
