YouTube Pays Trump $24.5M Settlement

YouTube has settled a lawsuit filed by former President Donald Trump for $24.5 million following his suspension after the January 6th insurrection. This marks the final settlement with the Big Tech platforms sued by Trump, with Meta and X (formerly Twitter) having settled previously. A significant portion of the payment will go to the Trust for the National Mall for the White House State Ballroom construction, with the remainder allocated to other plaintiffs like the American Conservative Union. The settlements reflect a broader trend of social media companies adopting a more conciliatory stance towards Trump and conservative voices.
