Devin Stone aka LegalEagle recently posted a YouTube video titled “’I’m Suing Meta, TikTok, Snap”. He is taking part in furthering a moral panic with indissoluble homophobic roots that is currently being used to obliterate our rights.
Mass surveillance and censorship laws DO NOT harm Big Tech.
Meta is currently using the “Social Media Addiction” Trial verdict to destroy anonymous internet access for everyone.
This lawsuit is backed by the Heritage Foundation and Morality in Media. Far-right Christian fundamentalist hate groups!!I was actually in the room for the “Social Media Addiction” lawsuit.
Kaley’s mom made her life a living hell. Her mom was weighing her every day, telling her she’s fat. Her mom physically abused her. Her father physically abused and abandoned her.
Yet, her unhappiness is solely blamed on her making fan edits on Instagram and Instagram messaging the few friends she had.
When you put that liability on Instagram, you abdicate everyone else’s responsibility. They don’t have to prosecute these child abuse cases because they can just blame it on Instagram!!Ironically, this girl currently works in social media marketing. And her abusive mom has now been rewarded with millions of dollars.
And it’s so harmful because they’re continually telling children that social media is causing their problems. And then when these kids quit social media and they become even more isolated and depressed, they blame themselves.
The whole point of this lawsuit is to punch holes in Section 230.

This whole thing is just a complete racket. It’s horrible. It’s rewarding abusive parents and scam lawyers who want to push this moral panic and set a legal precedent that is being used to obliterate our rights.
Why Fascists Love Stories That Hate Them
In this video essay, we dive into media literacy and media studies to explore why audiences can watch the exact same story and walk away with completely different interpretations. Through franchises like Superman, Star Wars, and Star Trek, we examine how storytelling, ideology, and audience interpretation interact, and why some of the most openly anti-authoritarian stories in popular culture continue to be embraced, or rejected, by different viewers.
Along the way, we’ll explore Stuart Hall’s Encoding/Decoding model, Reception Theory, Cultivation Theory, and the ways media shape public perception over time. We’ll also look at the work of Gene Roddenberry and George Lucas, the evolution of the Man of Steel from his earliest comics to James Gunn’s Superman, and how ideas about empathy, representation, power, and heroism continue to influence modern political and cultural debates.
Whether you’re interested in Superman, Star Trek, Star Wars, media literacy, communication theory, film analysis, pop culture, storytelling, media studies, political communication, or the relationship between entertainment and society, this video explores how the stories we love don’t just reflect culture, they help shape it.

How “The Birth of a Nation” Ruined America
I recently decided to watch the horrifyingly racist movie, “The Birth of a Nation.” I was curious what it was like, just because I had long heard about it but never seen it, so I gave it a try. The result was surprising in all the worst ways. This video logs my journey through and breakdown of the movie, along with discussing how depressingly modern it is.
