YouTube agrees to pay $24.5 million to settle Trump lawsuit over Capitol Riot account suspension
YouTube has agreed to pay $24.5 million (almost €21 million) to settle a lawsuit filed by former U.S. President Donald Trump. The case is related to the temporary suspension of his account following the January 6, 2021, Capitol riots.
Under the terms of the agreement, $22 million of this amount will be transferred to the Trust for the National Mall, the organization responsible for the construction of the White House hall. The remaining $2.5 million will be distributed among the other plaintiffs in the case, including author Naomi Wolf and the American Conservative Union.
Trump’s accounts on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube were suspended after his supporters, dissatisfied with the results of the presidential election, stormed the Capitol building. Social media management determined that Trump’s messages had contributed to the incident.
