The Apple co-founder and 17 others, including Bill Gates, Elon Musk and Michael Dell, filed a lawsuit against YouTube and its parent company, Google, in 2020 after their doctored videos promoting a fake scam went viral on YouTube.
Steve Wozniak filed a lawsuit against YouTube and parent company Google over doctored videos that were used to promote a Bitcoin scam.
The latest verdict would allow Wozniak to continue the lawsuit against the video streaming platform and potentially pave the way for a change in the federal law that protects video streaming platforms such as YouTube from any liability that comes along with the videos posted on the platform. The doctored video added additional text and pictures promising free Bitcoin, and viewers were asked to send Bitcoin to a particular address to get double the money.
The platform also failed to remove these verification badges when the channels started posting scam videos, while one was awarded the verification badge during the scam process.
