In its 2022 corporate disclosure, the company revealed that it spent a significant amount on personal security for Mr. Zuckerberg, his family, and his residences.<\/p>\n<h3>Investing in Personal Security<\/h3>\n<p>According to the disclosure, Meta spent $13,439,634 in 2020, $15,195,103 in 2021, and $14,829,245 in 2022 on personal security measures for Mr. Zuckerberg. This includes security at his residences and during personal travel. The company also allocated funds for the procurement, installation, and maintenance of additional security measures.<\/p>\n<h3>Supporting the &#8220;Defund the Police&#8221; Movement<\/h3>\n<p>Interestingly, while Meta has been investing in enhanced security for its CEO, it has also been contributing to the &#8220;defund the police&#8221; movement. The Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative, Zuckerberg&#8217;s philanthropic venture, reportedly donated $3 million to Policy Link, the organization behind DefundPolice.org. Additionally, $2.5 million was given to Solidaire, which supports various activist groups, including The Movement for Black Lives and Black Lives Matter DC, both of which advocate for defunding the police.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth noting that a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gov-desantis-signs-anti-grooming-bill-into-law-tears-into-critics\/\" title=\"Gov. DeSantis Signs Anti-Grooming Bill Into Law, Tears Into Critics\u00a0\">recent poll commissioned<\/a> by TheGrio.com and the Kaiser Family Foundation found that 82% of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/poll-nearly-73-percent-of-democrats-believe-teachers-unions-should-have-more-authority-than-parents\/\" title=\"Poll: Nearly 73 Percent of Democrats Believe Teachers' Unions Should Have More Authority than Parents\">black respondents preferred<\/a> to either maintain or increase police funding. Only a minority of 17% expressed a desire to decrease it.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these revelations, neither Meta nor the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative has provided a comment on the matter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Zuckerberg&#8217;s Salary<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In an interesting twist, it is worth mentioning that Mark Zuckerberg earned a salary of only $1 in both 2021 and 2022.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">click here<\/a> to read the full article from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meta has ramped up spending on CEO Mark Zuckerberg&#8217;s private security, despite its support for the &#8220;defund the police&#8221; movement.
