内容总结:

美国前总统特朗普与科技巨头的法律纠纷近期接连以高额和解告终。谷歌母公司Alphabet同意支付2200万美元,了结因其旗下YouTube平台在国会山骚乱后封禁特朗普账号而引发的集体诉讼。据《华尔街日报》披露,这笔款项中除特朗普获得的2200万美元外,其余被封禁账号使用者将共同分配250万美元赔偿。

此次和解是特朗普系列诉讼的最新进展。此前,其针对推特(现更名为X平台)的诉讼以1000万美元和解,与脸书母公司Meta的纠纷则以2500万美元达成和解。这些诉讼均指控科技平台侵犯其宪法第一修正案赋予的言论自由权利。

值得关注的是,Alphabet在达成和解前曾致函众议院司法委员会,抗议政府对其平台内容审核的施压。YouTube同时宣布将恢复部分因传播新冠疫情及选举虚假信息被封的账号。

根据和解协议,Alphabet的赔偿金将捐赠给国家广场信托基金,专项用于白宫宴会厅建设。Meta和解金亦采用相同处置方式。今年夏季,美国派拉蒙集团还就编辑卡马拉·哈里斯访谈片段涉嫌误导公众的指控,向特朗普支付1600万美元达成和解,数周后该集团即获准完成80亿美元并购交易。

字母表公司将以2200万美元和解特朗普总统的YouTube诉讼案。今年Meta与X公司亦已向总统支付数百万美元和解金。

据《华尔街日报》首曝,字母表公司同意向唐纳德·特朗普总统支付2200万美元,就国会山骚乱后YouTube账号被封禁的集体诉讼达成和解。该诉讼其他原告将共同分摊额外250万美元和解金,这些当事人的YouTube频道当时均遭封禁。

特朗普于2021年提起诉讼,并同步起诉推特和脸书基于类似封禁行为侵犯其第一修正案权利。被埃隆·马斯克收购并更名为X的推特平台支付约1000万美元达成和解;Meta公司今年早些时候亦以2500万美元就平台封禁案与总统达成和解。

此次和解前夕,字母表公司刚致函众议院司法委员会,痛斥政府对其平台内容审核的施压。该公司同时透露,将恢复部分因新冠疫情及选举诚信相关不实信息被封的YouTube账号。

字母表公司的和解金将捐给国家公园管理局非营利合作伙伴“国家广场信托基金”,专项用于特朗普总统在白宫修建的宴会厅工程。Meta公司的和解金亦作了同类定向用途。

今年夏季,哥伦比亚广播公司母公司派拉蒙就编辑卡玛拉·哈里斯访谈被控“混淆视听、误导公众”的诉讼与总统达成和解,支付1600万美元。三周后美国联邦通信委员会批准了天舞传媒80亿美元收购派拉蒙的交易。

Alphabet will pay $22 million to settle President Trump’s YouTube lawsuit
Meta and X have also paid the president millions in settlements this year
Alphabet will pay President Donald Trump $22 million as part of a settlement in a class action lawsuit brought against the company over the suspension of various YouTube accounts following the January 6 riot at the US capital, as first reported by the Wall Street Journal. The suit includes other plaintiffs whose YouTube channels were banned that will split an additional $2.5 million in settlement payouts.
Trump filed the suit in 2021, alongside lawsuits against Twitter and Facebook over similar suspensions, claiming they infringed on his first amendment rights. Twitter, now known as X since its acquisition and rebrand by Elon Musk, paid President Trump roughly $10 million to settle that suit. Meta also settled its suit with the president over his suspension from the platform for $25 million earlier this year.
This settlement comes shortly after Alphabet wrote a letter to the House Judiciary Committee lambasting government pressure to moderate content on its platforms. The company also shared that YouTube would be offering a path to reinstatement for accounts previously banned for COVID-19 or election integrity related misinformation.
The settlement from Alphabet will be paid to the Trust for the National Mall, a nonprofit partner of the National Park Service, and will be earmarked for construction of the ballroom that President Trump is building at The White House. The monies from the Meta settlement were similarly earmarked.
This summer Paramount, parent company of CBS, settled a lawsuit brought by the president over claims that the network intended to "confuse, deceive and mislead the public" by editing an interview with Kamala Harris. The media company paid $16 million to settle the president’s suit. Three weeks later the FCC approved the $8 billion acquisition of Paramount by Skydance.
