Trump and Zuckerberg hold 'constructive meeting' about internet regulation

Sounds like a start.  Trump is keeping the pressure up

President Trump and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg held a meeting at the White House to discuss internet regulation.

"Mark is in Washington, D.C., meeting with policymakers to hear their concerns and talk about future internet regulation. He also had a good, constructive meeting with President Trump at the White House today," Facebook said in a statement Thursday.

Zuckerberg and Sen. Josh Hawley also met Thursday to talk about tech regulation. Hawley said the Facebook head refused his demands to sell Instagram and WhatsApp as well as to submit to independent audits on censorship.

The Missouri Republican has taken a hard stance against tech companies, such as introducing the Ending Support for Internet Censorship Act, a bill that would drastically reshape how they would function.

Trump has also spoken out against tech censorship, saying they are "sooo on the side of the Radical Left Democrats."

Given what I know of Mark Zuckerberg, I imagine he's thinking - "All I have to do is make it look like I'm cooperating with Trump, while I do everything I can behind the scenes to defeat him in 2020."
