Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian expose how YouTube became the third major tech company to cave to Trump, settling his meritless January 6 lawsuit for $24.5 million despite Section 230 protections that courts have repeatedly upheld. The hosts reveal how Trump’s lawyer leveraged political power after Meta paid $25 million and X paid $10 million to settle similar claims, with $22 million earmarked for Trump’s White House ballroom project and $2.5 million to co-plaintiffs including conspiracy theorist Naomi Wolf. They explain how Trump’s attorney John Coale—a respected Democratic trial lawyer who fought tobacco companies—was rewarded with an appointment as special envoy to Ukraine and Belarus for delivering these settlements. The attorneys warn these corporate capitulations send a dangerous message that political pressure matters more than legal principle, as trillion-dollar companies refuse to fight winnable cases based on clear Communications Decency Act protections, destroying precedent for when platforms can remove content inciting violence.
