Trump’s lawsuit against YouTube brought an agreement to pay $ 24.5 million, most of which will go to the Trust for the National Mall.
The US online video sharing platform agreed to pay $ 24.5 million in the settlement of the action by President Donald Trump after the platform suspended his account in connection with the chapter’s attack on January 6, 2021.
In short:
- YouTube will pay $ 24.5 million in the settlement of the lawsuit.
- Most of the money will be donated to the Trust for the National Mall.
- Previous agreements include Meta Platform and Twitter with similar amounts.
- Google supported the agreement, but refused to comment on it.
According to documents filed with the Federal Court in California, $ 22 million will be a settlement of the Trust for National Mall and the rest will go to another applicant, including the US Conservative Union.
Technology and disputes
Youtube, Google’s subsidiary, is the latest of the large technology companies that agreed with Trump after he turned to court in July 2021.
Significant platforms at that time canceled Trump’s concerns of concern that he would support further violence by false claims that electoral fraud caused his loss to his successor, former President Joem Biden in 2020.
Previous agreements
In January of this year, Meta Platforms agreed to pay $ 25 million to settle a lawsuit relating to the cancellation of Trump’s account on Facebook in 2021. The company, chaired by US billionaire Elon Musk, agreed to settle a similar lawsuit against his company.
It is stated that the settlement agreement is not awarding liability. Google confirmed the agreement, but refused to comment on it, writes AP.
The publication of the agreement came a week before the planned court hearing on 6 October, where the case is to be discussed at the District Court in Oakland, California.
