Trump sued Twitter, Facebook, and Google over his account suspensions following the January 6th, 2021, riot at the US Capitol, and a judge dismissed this lawsuit in 2022, rejecting arguments that the company was a state actor or that Section 230 is unconstitutional.
Before that, ABC News agreed to settle Trump’s defamation lawsuit for $15 million. And last month, the Journal reported Paramount Global was considering caving on Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit over the editing of a Kamala Harris 60 Minutes interview.
