Just read more about it from Marketrealist and NBC:
Facebook (FB) CEO Mark Zuckerberg joined Donald Trump for dinner at the White House in October, but both sides kept quiet about the meeting, NBC News has revealed. Zuckerberg and Trump previously met at the White House in September.
Many Democratic politicians feel Facebook’s ad policy favors Trump. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden asked Facebook last month to remove certain ads about him. The ads, run by the Trump campaign, contained information that Biden deemed false. Facebook denied Biden’s request. Additionally, Senator Elizabeth Warren has gone as far as suggesting Zuckerberg may have cut a secret deal with Trump during his September visit to the White House.
The Trump campaign and groups that independently support Trump have spent millions of dollars on Facebook ads. For example, the Trump campaign spent $2.0 million on Facebook ads to talk about impeachment in the final week of September. In the September quarter, Facebook’s ad sales rose 28% year-over-year to $17.4 billion. Currently, Facebook derives almost all of its revenue from ad sales.
What Zuckerberg and Trump discussed at the previously undisclosed White House dinner in October is unknown. However, NBC News reports Facebook board member and prominent Trump supporter Peter Thiel joined Zuckerberg at the meeting.
