[Global Network Report] According to a report by Axios News Network on September 29th, local time, YouTube, a video website owned by Google, has agreed to pay US President Trump $22 million (about 157 million yuan) to reach a settlement. Previously, the platform closed Trump's account due to the riots on Capitol Hill on January 6, 2021, and Trump filed a lawsuit against him.

According to the report, according to court documents, the $22 million in damages Trump received will be deposited into a trust fund for his White House banquet hall renovation project, which cost about $200 million. In addition, YouTube will pay $2.5 million to other plaintiffs in the case. Google declined to comment on the case.

According to U.S. media reports, Trump filed a lawsuit in July 2021 against Meta (Facebook), X (originally Twitter) and Google for suspending their social platform accounts. Legal experts said at the time that under U.S. law, Trump¡¯s lawsuit was difficult to progress, and the court was unlikely to make a ruling in favor of Trump. Legal experts said previous similar lawsuits had been rejected because technology companies had the right to operate their social platforms as they deem appropriate.

After Trump was re-elected president of the United States, Meta and X companies settled with Trump for $25 million and $10 million in compensation, respectively.

U.S. cable news network said that since Trump took office in January this year, tech giants have taken a more supportive attitude towards Trump and the Republicans, and the reconciliation has been achieved in this context.
