Trump Loses Effort to Keep Suit Over YouTube Ban in Florida

Google’s legal battle to keep Donald Trump banned from the company’s YouTube video-sharing platform was transferred from Florida to a federal court in California over objections by the former president.

The ruling Wednesday by U.S. District Judge K. Michael Moore in Miami means Trump’s lawsuit seeking a return to the social-media platform will be moved to the Northern District of California, near the headquarters of Google owner Alphabet Inc. Moore agreed with YouTube that its terms of service allow the company to choose the forum for such lawsuits.
