Social media platform X, previously known as Twitter and Meta, has reached a settlement in a lawsuit filed by former President Donald Trump over his de-platforming following the January 6 insurrection of 2021. The platform, now owned by Elon Musk, has agreed to pay to settle the lawsuit, according to sources familiar with the matter.
Following the January 6 riot, several social media companies, including X, suspended Trump from their platforms citing the risk of further incitement of violence. Twitter, in a statement on January 8, 2021, announced the permanent suspension of Trump's account after reviewing his recent tweets.
