Meta’s chief of global affairs, Joel Kaplan, issued an apology to conservative activist Robby Starbuck after he announced a multimillion dollar defamation lawsuit against the company.
Starbuck, an activist renowned for his efforts in pressuring large corporations to drop their diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies, announced the lawsuit in a video he posted Tuesday to X. The suit was filed in Delaware Superior Court and is after over $5 million in damages, The Wall Street Journal first reported.
At the core of Starbuck’s suit are allegations that Meta’s artificial intelligence (AI) falsely told users he was at the Capitol on January 6, that he was a Holocaust denier and that he supported controversial nationalist figure Nick Fuentes.
