Because YouTube blocked the US President’s account, the company now pays high compensation. Trump already knows what should happen to the money.
Google mother Alphabet has agreed with US President Donald Trump on setting up a lawsuit for the blocking of his YouTube account and pays $ 24.5 million. This emerged from court documents on Monday. Google is the last of the three major technology companies that Trump’s complaints about in July 2021 because of the supposedly illegal suppression of conservative points of view.
Trump had no longer used his account with the video service after the attack of his followers on the Capitol in January 2021 for new videos. The account was unlocked again in 2023.
The short message service Twitter (today X) and the meta platforms Facebook and Instagram had also banished the president at the time before the end of his first term. Trump then sued the internet giant and accused them of an attack on freedom of speech and “illegal, unconstitutional censorship”.
The Republican and the bosses of online giants in the US technology industry approached Trump’s re-reaching into the White House at the beginning of the year. At his swearing-in on January 20, entrepreneur Elon Musk, Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon boss Jeff Bezos were better to see than many members of the new government.
According to the comparison, $ 22 million flow into the “Trust for the National Mall” in Trump’s name. According to the documents, the non -profit organization is devoted to the construction of a 200 million dollar ballroom, which Trump has built in the White House. The remaining amount goes to other plaintiffs, including the American Conservative Union and the US author Naomi Wolf.
YouTube has not granted misconduct and will make no changes to its products or guidelines as part of the comparison. Previously, the Facebook mother Meta and Platform X of the Tesla boss Elon Musk had already agreed on the settlement of similar complaints. Meta paid around $ 25 million in January, X in February about $ 10 million.
The ballroom planned by Trump should be larger than initially planned. The TV broadcaster NBC News quoted the president with the words: “We make him a little bigger.” The broadcaster reported that the ballroom should offer space for 900 people. In summer, the White House had spoken of 650 seats.
