Wozniak Sues YouTube Over Bitcoin Scam, Cites Deepfake Concerns

Steve Wozniak, who helped start Apple, says people used old videos of him on YouTube to run a Bitcoin scam.

They promised to double any money sent to a Bitcoin address.

When people emailed his wife asking for their money back, they realized it was a scam.

Wozniak tried to get YouTube to remove the videos, but it didn't work, so he's suing them.

He's worried about all the scams and fake information online, like AI fraud, and how the internet is being used to make money instead of sharing information.
