AsianFin -- YouTube has agreed to pay $24.5 million to resolve a lawsuit over its suspension of former U.S. President Donald Trump’s account following the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riots.

According to a filing Monday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, the settlement “shall not constitute an admission of liability or fault” by YouTube or related parties.

Trump filed lawsuits against YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter in mid-2021 after the platforms suspended his accounts, citing concerns that his posts could incite violence.
