YouTube Description
as posted by the channelYouTube has agreed to pay more than $24 million to settle a lawsuit over President Trump's suspension from the platform in 2021. The deal was first reported by The Wall Street Journal on Monday. Trump sued YouTube along with two other social media companies after they suspended his accounts following the January 6 riots. YouTube, which is owned by Google's Alphabet, is the last one to settle after Facebook's Meta and X agreed to do so earlier this year. According to court documents, much of the YouTube settlement funds will go towards building Trump's White House ballroom.
