Trump is transactional; everybody now knows this. So I'm thinking the proposed settlement to the case, as offered by the Trump regime, involves Meta keeping its social media platforms in exchange for surrendering all user data to the Justice Department.

The Faustian bargain for Zuckerberg is that Musk and DOGE will likely get access to all that sweet, sweet PII. Worse, users on all platforms are going to be screwed once DOGE and DOJ start identifying future tourists to El Salvador.

I'm hoping Judge Boasberg sees something like this coming from a mile away and can do something about it.
