And then these individuals, the core group that left Google, about 30 people, and went to this company, this startup, went back to Google after that licensing.

So they left a shell of a company in character AI.

And this is part of what we've alleged in our lawsuit.

So basically, if we allow this to stand,

Any big tech company will tap their brightest stars and say, hey, there's something we want to put out, but we don't want to put it out under our own brand because it's too dangerous.

Go perfect this dangerous technology.

And then when you're done,

We will buy it back from you for billions and billions of dollars.

A month ago, Character AI announced that they would be banning this product for people under the age of 18.

But I filed my lawsuit a year ago.

So October of 2024, I filed a lawsuit against Google, Character AI, and these founders.

So we're including the founders as well because they had knowledge and they're the ones who invented this technology.

And they made decisions to put this dangerous, untested product out there and test it on our kids for their own ambition of

you know, developing the cyber technology, but also for money.

So we've included them in the lawsuit.

But it took a year and it wasn't, I mean, I'm just some little mom in Florida who, you know, to them, you know, Sewell's nobody, but to me and our family, he's somebody.

And it took a year of me filing the lawsuit, five other parents filing lawsuits against them after me,

The state pressuring them, the AG's office is doing investigation, the FTC launched an investigation into them.

And then most recently, Senator Hawley and Blumenthal introduced a bipartisan bill that would ban this type of technology for children under the age of 18.

Only after that.
