Social media is a misinformation and harassment facilitator.
Since 2014, due to a misunderstanding, lies and misinformation continue to be published about me on unregulated social media. There is no fact-checking required to publish. I am one of the most defamed and harassed people on the internet. This has caused great harm to me and my family. I have suffered depression and emotional distress resulting in poor health, financial loss and employment loss. I continue to seek legal assistance in these matters. I am entitled to compensation.
Social media platforms need the following:
1) Identification of Users
2) Fact-checking Review
3) Complaints Board
4) Policing and Compliance
5) Harassment Review
6) Users Identifiable to Police
7) Copyright Review
8) Defamation Review
9) Compensation to Victims
10) Privacy Review
11) Legal Assistance
I have gone viral on social media for something that is false and misleading.
I choose to keep my normal life private and not share everything online. The false bloggers know nothing about me in the real world and post lies about me in the online world.
My mistake at the private Tesla meeting in front of Elon Musk continues to go viral and I continue to be punished for it. I broke down by accident and misspoke. None of that was planned nor intentional. I apologized at that moment.
False: I have this false online public image of being a nut job, villain, or loser that causes the internet to automatically hate and come after me forever. None of this "false image" is true in the real world.
This is what happens when false information continues to be amplified and you believe everything you see and hear on the internet.
The content continues to be shared without the proper context. I accidentally broke down in front of Elon Musk because of my financial situation and not because I wanted to run the company. Nobody explains this when they show the shortened clip.
Headlines will either lead or mislead. The headline or caption should read, "Guy accidentally broke down because of his financial situation and misspoke." Any other headline or caption is misleading because you are getting past the truth.
The general public got involved with a private meeting that has nothing to do with them. My privacy was violated at least two hundred times. You were not supposed to see it. People have the right to privacy in their enclosed space. You don't have the right to redistribute the content online. You would need permission first. And you don't have mine. You never did. I can't go on a plane or train or in a restaurant and record everyone as I see fit, and then redistribute online. That is a privacy violation and a rights violation.
I have been trying to take legal action since day one, but I have nobody to help me with that.
This person is suing for a similar viral event and the negative effects it has caused.
My name is damaged and that bothers me a lot because I have a false history written by a bunch of unauthorized amateurs.
Lies and misinformation will create more lies and misinformation, and so on and so forth.
I have never been delusional in my entire life. I know exactly who I am.
If I was a threat and suffered mental illness, I would be committing mass shootings every week like you young people do.
People make mistakes all of the time. That doesn't mean you harass them for the rest of their lives.
We all make mistakes. Nobody is perfect.
I have received over a hundred harassment emails.
I ask for assistance and I am attacked online instead.
I have been treated like a criminal.
I don't really care to create content, but I do care if false content is created about me.
There is no "rule of law" when it comes to social media.
Social media companies are greedy middlemen who make the most profit and take advantage of the current law.
The Social media CEOs are not the ones being harmed, I am. They are the ones who are profiting at my expense.
Every Blogger, YouTuber, Redditor, TikToker, etc., is an independent publisher. You are liable for all the content you produce.
You have to validate before you publish. Traditional media will verify before they publish; Social media will not.
I don't need false accusations from anyone.
I don't need perpetual defamation or abuse.
I am exhausted from all of this. I can't police the internet forever.
My content continues to be stolen and republished without compensation to me. None of my content is free.
You need to be careful when you talk about someone you don't really know.
The young internet community wants to "cancel me" permanently.
First, the Millennials come after me due to lies and misinformation. Now, Gen Z is coming after me.
I am entertainment for young people.
My online presence continues to be harmed.
It is easy to talk lies about someone when you're anonymous, but difficult to talk lies about them when you're not.
Social media will allow criminals to operate.
Overall, I would be in so much better shape if it wasn't for all of this.
I never imagined for my health to be this poor.
My family life and work life has been greatly affected. The wife is not in good health.
I had a ton of negative energy sent my way. I don't need that. Too much negative energy will kill you.
The continued harmful stress from social media, which has been medically documented from the beginning, has caused me to have employment and financial loss.
I have gained a lot of weight due to all of the stress, which has been difficult to lose due to the continued stress.
The stress continues to build and will eventually kill me. I don't get any peace. Nobody deserves to be treated like this.
I have my own hate group.
People will harm you if they feel they can get away with it.
You can kill people with intentional lies and misinformation.

I am an artist. I should be recording and performing my music, but my health is not good and all of that is delayed.
I have integrity; I can't speak for others.
