In 2019, before the pandemic and the presidential ones , υπήρχε μια αναφορά για ένα μυστικό δείπνο μεταξύ του ιδρυτή και διευθύνοντος συμβούλου του Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg και του τότε προέδρου των Ηνωμένων Πολιτειών, .
Zuckerberg was in Washington, DC for a congressional hearing concerning the digital currency Libra. While in town, he accepted Trump's invitation to a White House dinner.

In a statement, Zuckerberg on Facebook described the meal as completely "normal".

"As is normal for a CEO of a major American company s, Mark accepted an invitation to dinner with the President and First Lady at the White House,” Reported one millionof Facebook to NBC News in 2019 without providing further information about what was discussed.

Το νέο βιβλίο του Chafkin (The Contrarian) για τον υποστηρικτή του Trump και επενδυτή της Silicon Valley Peter Thiel, το οποίο κυκλοφορεί σήμερα Τρίτη, ρίχνει to what was discussed during dinner.

Thiel was present at the 2019 dinner, along with Trump, Zuckerberg and the president's son-in-law, Jared Kushner. According to an excerpt from The Contrarian, published Monday in the NY Mag, Thiel told a "trustee" about an "understanding" between Zuckerberg and Kushner.

Facebook "will continue to avoid controlling political discourse."

The alleged deal, Chafkin said, allowed Trump - as well as other politicians - to continue to say whatever they wanted on social media without being controlled.

As long as Facebook continued to control political discourse, Trump would not force the social network into the "strict regulations" that Congress then sought.
