Facebook tycoon Mark Zuckerberg has spent $43 million on private security over the past three years whilst simultaneously donating millions to causes that want to ‘defund the police.’
Since 2020, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Zuckerberg’s family-run foundation, has donated $3 million to PolicyLink, the organization behind DefundPolice.org, the New York Post reported.
DefundPolice.org aims to ‘diminish the role of policing in communities and empower alternative visions for public safety.’
CZI, which Zuckerberg founded with his wife Priscilla Chan, has also reportedly donated more than $2.5 million to the anti-police group Solidaire, which has boasted about Oakland police losing $18 million in funding amid a surge in crime in the California city.
While Zuckerberg has funded anti-police efforts, his company has increased the amount of money it spends each year, now at $14 million, to make sure the Facebook founder is protected by a security force.
