Alphabet Bowls Over Trumpās January 6 Suspension Suit Like Itās Spam
In a move that screams 'letās not drag this out,' tech giant Alphabet quietly settled with Donald Trump over that juicy January 6 suspension lawsuit. Instead of battling it out in court and wasting everyone's time, Alphabet probably weighed the cost of courtroom popcorn against just paying off Trump to drop the drama. The exact settlement dough remains locked tighter than Trump's Twitter comeback plans, but one can imagine the backroom chats: 'Hey, can we just chill? The internetās stressful enough.' Alphabet, which owns Google, Snapchat in this saga of social media sanctions and political spats, decided discretion is the better algorithm.
