Google's YouTube to Pay $24.5 Million to Settle Donald Trump Lawsuit Over Account Suspension

Google's YouTube has agreed to pay $24.5 million to settle a lawsuit by President Donald Trump over his account suspension following the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The payment is in response to Trump's claim that the platform unfairly targeted him and violated his First Amendment rights. The lawsuit was filed in 2021, nearly two years after Trump's account was suspended. The settlement marks a significant payout for Trump, who had sought millions of dollars in damages.
