McDonald’s former CEO pays $105 million to settle lawsuit

Published

McDonald’s has settled a lawsuit against its former CEO Steve Easterbrook

The lawsuit recoups equity and cash in his severance payment valued at $105 million.

McDonalds says Easterbrook would not have received the payment if he’d been “truthful” about his misconduct.

The company fired him in November 2019 after an investigation found he had engaged in a consensual relationship with another employee in violation of company policy.

The fast-food giant sued Easterbrook in August 2020, after an internal investigation.

The company alleged he lied to investigators about his misconduct, including sexual relationships with multiple subordinates.

Easterbrook has apologised, saying he had failed to uphold McDonald’s values of “doing the right thing”.

Australia shuts millions of teen social media accounts

Australia’s social media ban leads to 4.7 million teen account closures, prompting debate over online safety and freedom.

Australia’s social media ban leads to 4.7 million teen account closures, prompting debate over online safety and freedom.

Nearly five million social media accounts belonging to Australian teenagers have been closed since the nation’s social media ban began in December. Platforms such as Instagram and TikTok were responsible for removing around 4.7 million accounts held by minors, according to the eSafety Commissioner.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described the figures as encouraging, highlighting the government’s commitment to protecting children online. The new law holds social media companies accountable, with fines imposed on platforms that fail to prevent underage accounts from being created or maintained.

Despite these measures, some teenagers have reportedly bypassed the restrictions by falsifying their ages or using parental information. The debate continues over the effectiveness of these regulations and the balance between safety and online freedom.

Greenland, Denmark assert Arctic island not for sale, emphasizing cooperation with the US on their own terms.


Greenland and Denmark have used high-level talks in Washington, D.C. to firmly restate that the Arctic island is not for sale, pushing back against long-standing US interest in the strategically vital territory.

Foreign ministers from both Greenland and Denmark acknowledged that major disagreements remain following discussions with US officials, despite what they described as constructive engagement on shared priorities.

Greenland’s government made clear it is open to closer cooperation with Washington, but only on its own terms, rejecting any suggestion of ownership or control.
