• Thiel in 1995's The Diversity Myth: date rape is just 'belated regret'

Facebook board member and Trump donor Peter Thiel has apologised for a book he co-wrote in 1995 that argued the definition of rape had been expanded to include "seductions that are later regretted".

Thiel's co-author, David Sacks, a Stanford and Paypal alumnus along with Thiel, also apologised after the Guardian reported on the book's contents on Friday.
