Mark Zuckerberg's announcement that Meta would pivot its moderation policies to allow more "free expression" was widely viewed as the company's latest effort to appease President-elect Donald Trump .

Zuckerberg recognizes the need for White House support as his company builds data centers and pursues favorable policies, according to people familiar with company's plans.

Zuckerberg 's overtures to Trump began in the months leading up to the election.

Meta typically undergoes major "recalibrations" after prominent U.S. elections.

Zuckerberg wants to be perceived as someone who can work with Trump and the Republican Party , people say.

Trump has accused Meta of censorship and expressed resentment over the company's two-year suspension of his Facebook and Instagram accounts.
