YouTube to pay €21 million to settle lawsuit with Trump over account suspension in 2021

YouTube agreed to pay $24.5 million (€20.9 million) to settle a lawsuit US President Donald Trump brought against the company in 2021, when it suspended Trump's account following the January 6 riots on the Capitol. Trump's account has been restored since 2023.

Trump had also sued X, formerly known as Twitter, Facebook parent Meta Platforms. When the lawsuit was first filed over four years ago, legal experts predicted the suits were doomed to fail. However, Meta and X agreed to pay to settle the lawsuits earlier this year.
