"Lawyers for Trump and Google's YouTube recently told a federal judge they "continue to engage in productive discussions regarding next steps" in a lawsuit Trump filed over YouTube's decision to ban Trump's account in the wake of the January 6th riot at the US Capitol. The lawyers expect "additional discussions ... in the near future." Trump also sued then-Facebook and Twitter over their bans, and Meta recently paid $25 million to settle theirs."
"Google is still untangling itself from a mess of legal battles, including two separate anti-monopoly lawsuits the Justice Department won against it. It's awaiting decisions on how those judges see fit to remedy its harms to competition in the online search and ad tech markets, which could include forcing it to sell its Chrome browser. Meanwhile, recent chaos at the DOJ Antitrust Division has left former enforcers fearing that the agency appears susceptible to outside corporate influence."
Lawyers for President Donald Trump and Google's YouTube informed a federal judge that they "continue to engage in productive discussions regarding next steps" in a lawsuit over YouTube's ban of Trump's account after the January 6th Capitol riot. The legal teams expect "additional discussions ... in the near future." Trump previously sued Facebook and Twitter over similar bans; Meta paid $25 million to settle. Google is facing multiple legal battles, including two DOJ anti-monopoly wins and potential remedies that could include selling Chrome. Recent turmoil at the DOJ Antitrust Division raised concerns about susceptibility to outside corporate influence. Sen. Elizabeth Warren warned that Google might follow Meta's settlement path.
