These incidents get reported drip by drip lately but I'm guessing there are thousands of them.

GILDED RAGE came out in hardcover a year ago today.

My guess is Zuck and his allies got to Trump on this (financially or otherwise). Meta wrote that voluntary AI agreement that Trump and the AI CEOs signed.
