Former President and Republican presidential nomineeĀ Donald TrumpĀ threatens to imprison billionaire entrepreneur and founder of FacebookĀ Mark ZuckerbergĀ in his new book,Ā Save America.

Underneath a picture of Zuckerberg meeting with Trump at the White House during the latterā€™s presidency, Trump writes that Zuckerberg ā€œwould come to the Oval Office to see meā€ and ā€œbring his very nice wife to dinners, be as nice as anyone could be, while always plotting install shameful Lock Boxes in a true PLOT AGAINST THE PRESIDENT.ā€

Then came the threat:

He told me there was nobody like Trump on Facebook. But at the same time, and for whatever reason, steered it against me. We are watching him closely, and if he does anything illegal this time he will spend the rest of his life in prison ā€” as will others who cheat in the 2024 Presidential Election.

Zuckerberg recently addressed a letter to House Judiciary Committee ChairmanĀ Jim JordanĀ (R-OH) in which he admitted that the company had made a mistake when it demotedĀ The New York Postā€˜s controversial story aboutĀ Hunter Bidenā€™sĀ laptop in October 2020 after being warned about Russian disinformation effort against the Bidens by Trumpā€™s FBI.

    Zuck is doing it again this year. They announced that the team thatā€™s supposed to remove election disinformation is gone. Plus, Zuck said they wonā€™t ā€œgive inā€ to any government censorship, even when the censorship is to protect the public, ie - removing violent right-wing posts that helped fuel the riots in England.

      I mean itā€™s possible that heā€™s working for the other team now, and will be actually influencing for Harris. This would also require removing those teams. Who knows what happens behind the curtain.

        I think guys like Zuck only have the bottom line in mind whenever they decide pro or con a candidate. And with a Democrat in office the chance of getting worse regulation is a bit higher. So heā€™s probably not actively trying to help that happen
