Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg praised the Trump administration for supporting Silicon Valley, calling 2025 a pivotal year for redefining Meta’s government relationships. Meta and Zuckerberg have taken steps to mend ties with Trump, including a $1 million donation to his inaugural fund and a private dinner at Mar-a-Lago. Zuckerberg announced Meta would eliminate third-party fact-checking, citing concerns about political bias and its impact on trust, particularly in the U.S. The decision was seen as a gesture toward Trump and Republicans, who have long accused Meta of censoring conservative views.
