YouTube has settled a lawsuit with U.S. President Donald Trump for $24.5 million, resolving a dispute stemming from the indefinite suspension of his account in 2021. The suspension followed the January 6 U.S. Capitol riot.
The settlement was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. Of the total amount, $22 million will be allocated directly to Trump, while $2.5 million will be distributed to co-plaintiffs, which include the American Conservative Union and author Naomi Wolf.
This legal action highlights ongoing tensions between social media platforms and political figures regarding content moderation and account suspensions. For related coverage, see recent developments in political discourse.
