YouTube Loses MASSIVE Lawsuit, This Will END Independent Media

This is it, boys, a landmark case against Meta and YouTube, arguing that they are responsible for their algorithms and the addictive nature of these platforms.

They've been ordered to pay $3 million in damages.

Not only do we have this landmark case, but another fine issued in New Mexico for $375 million to Facebook over harm to children.

Now, what does this mean?

Timcast IRL

If YouTube is liable not for the content, but for the delivery mechanism itself, then there is no delivery mechanism they can have.

Timcast IRL

That means content must just be without algorithm based on you subscribing.

And that's what you get.

Discovery has to be organic.

Now, I don't know how this will play out, but we did just have a hearing on Section 230 a week or so ago.

So let's say I say something like that the AG in Virginia tried to kick a dog.

Timcast IRL

Right.

Timcast IRL

He can't sue YouTube for it because I'm the one who said it.

Timcast IRL
YouTube Loses MASSIVE Lawsuit, This Will END Independent Media

The truth is he actually did try to kick a dog, so I didn't make that up anyway.

Timcast IRL

And the truth is an absolute defense.

Timcast IRL

But what's interesting now is based on what we are seeing in arguments being made, Section 230 may get blown up, which is a component in ending the independent media space on social media and turning the clock back to a time when there were only a handful of channels and a handful of approved commentators.

Timcast IRL

I think that's where we're going to be going.

Timcast IRL

So we'll talk about that.

Plus, ladies and gentlemen, we are going to the moon.

NASA has announced $20 billion to go to the moon, build a moon base.
