Conservative activist Robby Starbuck is fighting back against Big Tech after Meta’s AI falsely branded him a criminal and called for his children to be taken away. The shocking case exposes how artificial intelligence can weaponize lies to destroy lives—and how Silicon Valley giants refuse to take responsibility.
Meta’s AI chatbot accused Starbuck of participating in the January 6 Capitol riots, labeled him a White supremacist, and demanded authorities remove his kids. These claims are completely false, but the AI repeated them for nearly a year. Starbuck discovered the lies when a Harley-Davidson dealership used the AI’s fake statements to attack his campaign against woke DEI policies.
Starbuck immediately alerted Meta’s executives and lawyers, begging them to correct the record. He followed Meta AI’s own recommendations for fixing errors: retract lies, investigate mistakes, and protect users. Instead, Meta ignored him. The company only “fixed” the problem by erasing Starbuck’s name from responses—while leaving the original lies in its training data.
The AI’s lies sparked death threats against Starbuck and his family. His career suffered as businesses cut ties over the false accusations. “Meta maliciously defamed me,” Starbuck said. “This nightmare must end.” His lawsuit demands Meta remove the lies from its systems and pay damages for the harm caused.
Meta’s chief global affairs officer Joel Kaplan apologized after the lawsuit went public, calling the situation “unacceptable.” But Starbuck says it’s too late. “They had months to fix this. Now they want to act sorry? My kids were doxxed. Apologies won’t cut it.”
The case highlights Silicon Valley’s reckless push to deploy AI without safeguards. Meta plans to expand its AI tools to millions more users, risking similar disasters. Starbuck warns, “If they can do this to me, they can do it to anyone.” His fight isn’t just about justice—it’s about forcing tech giants to respect truth and human dignity.
Conservatives face a stark reality: woke algorithms and unchecked AI pose existential threats to free speech and family values. Starbuck’s ordeal proves Big Tech will silence critics by any means necessary. The time for polite complaints is over. Hardworking Americans need bold action to rein in these powerful corporations.
This lawsuit could set a critical precedent. If Starbuck wins, it will send a clear message: AI companies must be held accountable. Until then, every patriot should demand transparency from Meta and support those brave enough to stand against tech tyranny. The future of freedom depends on it.
