YouTube has agreed to pay $24.5 million to settle a lawsuit brought by former President Donald Trump, who accused the platform of censoring his content and violating his First Amendment rights. The settlement resolves claims that YouTube's moderation policies unfairly targeted Trump and his supporters, especially around the time of the January 6 Capitol riot. The deal marks a significant development in the ongoing debate over content moderation and free speech on social media platforms. While YouTube did not admit liability, the settlement includes commitments to improve transparency and review processes related to content removal and account suspensions, aiming to balance free expression with community safety.
