Google’s YouTube has agreed to pay $24.5 million to settle a lawsuit by President Donald Trump over his 2021 account suspension following the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

According to documents filed in federal court in California, $22 million of the settlement will be contributed to the Trust for the National Mall to help pay for the construction of the White House State Ballroom. The rest will go to other plaintiffs, including the American Conservative Union.

Every time they are rolling over like that they are bankrolling American Fascism.

We need more spotlight on the crimes of supercorpos and other enablers.

I couldn't agree more if I physically tried.

Corporations have much more power and much less scrutiny than even the worst governments in the world.

It's not a real lawsuit. This is a tax free bribe.
