Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak is suing YouTube after grifters used his likeness to promote massive bitcoin scams
Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak has filed a complaint against YouTube over an ongoing bitcoin scam using his image and likeness as well as those of other tech executives.
The complaint accuses YouTube of hosting such videos for months, defrauding YouTube users out of millions of dollars.
Wozniak isn't the only tech figure whose likeness has appeared in such videos; the lawsuit shows screenshots of similar videos featuring images of Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates, Musk, and Dell chairman and CEO Michael Dell. YouTube has been unresponsive to Wozniak's requests to take action against such videos, according to the complaint. The lawsuit lists 17 other plaintiffs alongside Wozniak, all victims of cryptocurrency scams on YouTube from around the world.
