Lord McAlpine has dropped defamation claims against some Twitter users who wrongly named him as a paedophile.
He will not pursue action against those with fewer than 500 followers, but will instead ask for a donation to the BBC's Children In Need, he has said.
It comes after a Newsnight investigation led to the former Conservative Party treasurer being wrongly accused of child abuse.
The BBC paid £185,000 to him in damages after a libel settlement was agreed.
The BBC and ITV were the first of a number of organisations and individuals to face legal action.
The Tory peer had previously said it was "terrifying" to find himself "a figure of public hatred".
The Newsnight broadcast on 2 November was about historical allegations of child abuse at care homes in north Wales.
Former Tory party treasurer Lord McAlpine was not named in the broadcast, but he was incorrectly linked to the claims on the internet.
A settlement was reached with ITV and Phillip Schofield in relation to a This Morning programme broadcast after the Newsnight programme, during which the presenter handed the prime minister a list of names of alleged abusers he had found on the internet.
