Chapter 1: What is the landmark lawsuit against YouTube and Meta about?
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?
If YouTube is liable not for the content, but for the delivery mechanism itself, then there is no delivery mechanism they can have. 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.
And that is the protection that allows it or that shields these platforms from liability if a third party makes a comment on their platform. So let's say I say something like that the AG in Virginia tried to kick a dog. Right. He can't sue YouTube for it because I'm the one who said it. The truth is he actually did try to kick a dog, so I didn't make that up anyway.
And the truth is an absolute defense. 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. I think that's where we're going to be going.
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. So we're going to talk about that stuff. And then, yeah, I guess there's Iran war stuff. Allies are like, OK, Trump will help you. But we're so tired of talking about it. And it's kind of scary because it's war.
And there are weird prophecies about what's going to happen. A comet is about to graze the sun and explode.

Chapter 2: How will this lawsuit affect social media algorithms?
Most people haven't heard this. It's crazy. You might be able to actually see this in the sky early April. And then people are talking about this guy who claims he was abducted by aliens. And he said years ago, it's like 12 years ago, he said in April of 2026, Israel and Iran will be firing missiles at each other and then orbs will rise from the ocean. I'm not kidding.
This interview actually exists and people are freaking out about it. So we're going to talk about that, and of course, the new trailer for Harry Potter came out, and everyone's wondering how Black Snape is. The answer is very, and we'll address that as well. Before we do, we've got a great sponsor for you. It is Venice.ai. Sam Altman said, Indeed. That's crazy.
Anyway, my friends, it took us too long to truly understand what social media companies were doing with our data over the last decade. Are we really going to make that same mistake again? OpenAI has hinted they may even require users to provide a government-issued ID. Venice.ai utilizes leading open-source AI models to deliver text code and image generation to your web browser.
There's no downloads, no installations, or anything.
Chapter 3: What are the implications of Section 230 on independent media?
Private and permissionless, they don't spy on you or censor the AI. Messages are encrypted, and your conversation history is stored only in your browser. AI can be extremely valuable, but we shouldn't need to give up our privacy to use it.
The Venice Pro plan unlocks the full platform and features, including PDF uploads for summaries or insights, the ability to turn off safe mode for unhindered image generation. And that doesn't just mean naughty images. It could be political images that other platforms don't let you make. You'll get the ability to change how Venice interacts by modifying the system prompt. Very cool.
So go to Venice.ai slash Tim. Use code Tim. Check it out, man. It's a weird time. We got a lot of critiques of AI, but at least you can get some privacy and utilize a tool that's not going to do weird things. But don't forget to also smash that like button. Share the show with everyone you know. We're gonna have a lot of fun tonight. Joining us to talk about everything and more is Mike Benz.
Hello. Who are you? What do you do? I'm Mike Benz. I advocate for free speech on the internet. I like free speech on the internet. That's a good thing.
Well, glad to have you. Thank you. Actually, I will also mention you exposed a conspiracy against me. Yes. I think, what is it, the Atlantic Council?
You were targeted by the Election Integrity Partnership, the Atlantic Council, the University of Washington, the Stanford Internet Observatory. Oh, it's worse than I thought.
Africa.
They did a whole presentation about how you were the origin point of a malinformation incident during the 2020 election cycle, and they tracked— And it was about ballot harvesting, right? It was about ballot harvesting. Which is completely true. Yes. That's crazy. But that's the thing about malinformation. Right.
It started off with disinformation, and then they tried to distinguish miss and dis, and they said, you know, what happens when something is true and we can't even— engineer a fake fact check. Fact check, it's just true. But if people know this is true, they'll think this thing we don't want them to think.

Chapter 4: What is NASA's plan for a moon base?
But if you believe that, it will lead you to think the election's not secure. And so therefore you're contributing to a misinterpreted narrative.
My whole point was ballot harvesting is largely legal. It's allowed. It's a strategy that should be utilized by Republicans. And they're like, oh, he's figured out how he's going to help the Republicans win. Let's lie about it. Thanks for coming. This should be this should be very interesting. We talk all about it. We got a lot hanging out, of course. Good evening, everybody.
Ian and Carter are hanging out as well. What up?
Greetings.
Let's jump to this story from NBC News. Jury finds Meta and YouTube negligent in landmark lawsuit on social media safety. The jurors awarded the plaintiff $3 million in damages, finding Meta 70% responsible for harm caused to her and YouTube responsible for 30%. They say that the L.A.
County Superior Court jury said that Meta's and YouTube's negligence were a substantial factor in causing harm to the plaintiff. It awarded them the money. We know this. The trial began last month in L.A.
County, which included testimony from Mark Zuckerberg and other tech executives, was the first in a consolidated group of cases brought against Meta and other companies by more than 1,600 plaintiffs, including over 350 families and over 250 school districts. Guys. What they're basically saying is that YouTube and Meta knew their platform was addictive and harmful to children.
We also have this from TechCrunch just the other day. New Mexico just handed Meta its first courtroom defeat over child safety and the rest of the country is watching. A jury in Santa Fe on Tuesday ordered Meta to pay $375 million in civil penalties after finding the company misled consumers about the safety of its platforms and endangered children. So where does this go?
It's actually quite simple. If YouTube and Meta are responsible, not for the content, but for the mechanism by which they are delivered, they'll have to delete the algorithms. I believe this is step one in overturning, removing the independent media space, shutting it down. Where the future will go? Well, the first thing I'll say is I'm going to let you in on a secret.

Chapter 5: What is the purpose of the new alien and UFO reporting websites?
So this is alien and aliens.gov. And it's coming at a time Trump said he was going to release files on UFOs. Now, our understanding is that the websites are for self-reporting for individuals who witness UFO or UAP phenomena to submit that story so they can track it. Guys, there was a story that I covered about a UFO somewhere in like Florida or whatever.
And you knew that the news organization desperately wanted to pretend it was true because in the story they say like, witness says they saw UFO, strange occurrences. A man was a pilot for the Air Force and he saw these strange vehicles flying through the air. At the very bottom of the story, it was like the event took place 70 miles from the Advanced Aerospace Weapons Research Lab for the Navy.
And I'm like, You knew that the whole time and you wanted to frame it as though it was aliens when the whole time you knew it was advanced U.S. military technology.
Chapter 6: How does the discussion shift to military technology and UFO sightings?
Thank you and have a nice day.
That's my question.
My point real quick is the real purpose of Alien and Aliens.gov is to try and track what people are seeing. It's twofold. When we experiment with new weapons, did anybody witness it? Tell us. What did you see? Well, guess what? Then the men in black show up and say you didn't see anything.
Or if we've got stealth technology or we're trying to do camouflage or perhaps cloaking technology, did you see anything?
And if an enemy flies a drone and that gets reported, this is not one of ours.
Remember the drones over Jersey?
Dude, I think it's true. Where Marco Rubio and Secretary Hexeth were staying. Oh, that's right. That's right. Very recently. Yeah, and that means aliens. That proves it. Flying over different military bases.

Chapter 7: What implications does the YouTube lawsuit have for independent media?
Are they going to run an alien PSYOP on us? They're trying to get a PSYOP.
I have a search running for a particular CIA cable that I just thought was funny. And you saying that this was done a week ago is just hilarious. This is March 18th. One week ago. That's so crazy. Are you guys familiar with this 1954 CIA cable? It was... Yeah, I have it pulled up here.
It's called Telegram from Operation PB Success Headquarters in Florida to CIA stations in Guatemala, January 30th, 1954. And there's a key line in this CIA cable. The context is we were... The CIA had a plot to overthrow the government and the government found out about it and was...
beginning to saturate the state-owned radio stations with revelations of this cia plot and the the cia cable has this key line if possible fabricate big human interest story like flying saucers in remote area to take away play from the revelations of this you know
potentially busted cia plot and so i thought that was yeah here it is on state.gov history.state.gov official u.s government website i can text you this link if you want to put it on screen it's i wouldn't be able to pull it up from my phone okay well this is this is it if you want to just like search those terms right there if you just ran from operation pb success uh and this is so this is
Effectively, in the height of a years-long effort to topple a foreign government, the CIA presses to fabricate a story about aliens to take away play from the...
potentially comp the complications in an in-process military intelligence operation i'm not saying that's what's happening here i just think it's very funny that like if you like if you run a control f for uh flying saucers like you'll you'll see or i'm sorry for uh this is it should be nope Well, hold on a sec. I think you have, you have a different one. This, this one.
So this is, it's not the right one.

Chapter 8: How does the conversation about Erica Kirk and defamation unfold?
Say 89, not 89. Yeah. There's a, it's 80. If you, if you just put that in, you have one 86 up there. There you go. Yeah. Type in like saucer or something.
Oh yeah. Look at that. There you go. So fabricate big human interest story, like flying saucers and birth sex tuplets.
Yeah.
Right. And you'll see it says paper must be read in light with razzle dazzle preceding the Organization of American States. So basically what they're saying is – and if you read the context of this basically directive for the CIA's media assets to make a big stink about these crazy human interest stories, it's specifically to take away airplay and distract the population from –
you know, the other revelations in the news.
Like the 10 Marines that got killed.
So the war is happening. Whenever they announced aliens, we're like, all right, what's going on in the news? Like whenever Hunter Biden was caught with something, aliens would pop up.
It's like, we get it, dude. Did they botch this Iranian thing like off the charts? In your opinion, if you were to have one.
Um, what, what's happening?
