YouTube to pay $24.5 million to settle lawsuit over Trump’s account suspension after Jan. 6 attack

Google’s YouTube has agreed to pay $24.5 million to settle a lawsuit President Donald Trump brought after the video site suspended his account following the Jan. 6, 2021 attacks on the Capitol following the election that resulted in him leaving the White House for four years.

The settlement of the more than four-year-old case earmarks $22 million for Trump to contribute to the Trust for the National Mall and a construction of a White House ballroom, according to court documents filed Monday. The remaining $2.5 million will be paid to other parties involved in the case, including the writer Naomi Wolf and the American Conservative Union.

Alphabet, the parent of Google, is the third major technology company to settle a volley of lawsuits that Trump brought for what he alleged had unfairly muzzled him after his first term as president ended in January 2021. He filed similar cases Facebook parent Meta Platforms and Twitter before it was bought by billionaire Elon Musk in 2022 and rebranded as X.

4. He should have gone to prison for Jan 6th. Instead, Google is helping build his ballroom

It's a bribe, pure and simple.

5. It's a shake down

This is how he gets his bribes, he sues someone and they settle with him in exchange for favorable treatment.

6. Extortion.

Period. Full stop.

He is acting like January 6th never happened?

8. Alphabet could have fought it and won.

Capitulation only makes him continue these shakedowns.
