YouTube has agreed to pay $24.5m (£18.6m) to settle a lawsuit brought by Donald Trump, filed after the video platform suspended his account in the wake of the 6 January attack on US Capitol. Trump had accused YouTube and other tech companies of political bias, claiming they had unfairly censored conservative voices after the Capitol riot in 2021. At the time of his suspension, social media companies said that Trump risked inciting further violence in Washington DC. A month later, social media platform X – a company that was purchased by Trump ally Elon Musk in 2022 – settled for a reported $10m. All of Mr Trump’s social media accounts have since been reinstated.
