YouTube to pay $22 million for White House ballroom to settle lawsuit from Trump

YouTube has settled a lawsuit with former President Trump for $24.5 million, stemming from the temporary suspension of his account after the 2021 Capitol insurrection. The majority of the settlement will fund a planned White House ballroom, with the remainder going to other plaintiffs. This resolution concludes a four-year legal dispute, adding to previous settlements Trump reached with Meta and X over similar account suspensions. The lawsuit had raised questions about First Amendment rights versus platform policies.
