YouTube settles Trump’s Jan. 6 lawsuit for $24 million : NPR

YouTube will pay President Trump $24.5 million to settle a 2021 censorship lawsuit. A significant portion will fund a White House ballroom. This follows similar settlements with Meta and X. Experts view these payouts as influence-peddling rather than legal merit, as First Amendment protections don't typically apply to private companies. This comes as YouTube relaxes misinformation rules and reinstates previously banned accounts.
