When Big Tech’s chatbots start inventing grotesque crimes and smearing patriotic voices, you’re looking at more than a technical bug — you’re looking at a political attack with real-world consequences. Robby Starbuck has rightly taken Google to court after its AI allegedly spat out lurid, false accusations that shredded his reputation and endangered his family, and hardworking Americans should be livid that Silicon Valley can weaponize machines against dissenting views.
According to the complaint, Google’s Bard and Gemma generated claims that Starbuck was a child rapist and a serial sexual abuser and even tried to link him to extremist figures — fabrications that the company’s own systems produced and that spread to millions. This is the sort of modern-day character assassination that used to be limited to slanderous tabloids; now algorithmic hallucinations amplify lies with the force of corporate distribution, and the damages being sought are a reflection of the harm inflicted.
This isn’t the first time Big Tech has gone after a conservative figure with sloppy, politically charged AI output, and Starbuck has already forced accountability out of other platforms by suing and pushing for reform. He previously brought a suit against Meta over false AI-generated claims and later reached a settlement that led to a controversial advisory role, underscoring both the scale of the problem and the fact that legal pressure is one of the only levers conservatives have to hold these companies to account.
No less brazen is the shrill reaction from HR elites when organizations like SHRM dare to invite a conservative critic of DEI onto the stage; Starbuck’s appearance at the rebranded Blueprint conference set off predictable howls from the professional left. The tantrums from self-styled inclusion officers prove the point — they don’t want dialogue or viewpoint diversity, they want conformity and control, and they’ll publicly shame anyone who challenges the orthodoxy.
Patriots who believe in free speech and the dignity of honest debate should cheer SHRM for the modest step of hosting opposing views instead of joining the cancel mob. Silencing dissent and weaponizing workplace credentialing to enforce ideological purity is a far greater danger to American institutions than allowing a visiting fellow from a conservative think tank to speak; the real threat comes from cowardly gatekeepers who think conformity equals inclusion.
The Google lawsuit is about more than one man’s reputation — it’s a test of whether Americans will tolerate a tech cartel that can fabricate ruinous lies and hide behind opaque systems and legal layers. Conservatives should be unapologetic in demanding that platforms be transparent about AI failures, held financially responsible when their products defame citizens, and required to build safeguards that prevent political weaponization of these tools.
Robby Starbuck’s fight is our fight: against cancel culture, against ideological censorship, and against a two-tiered justice where Big Tech’s errors are excused and their victims are silenced. If you value free speech and fair play, stand with those who use the courts and public pressure to pry open the black boxes of these companies and make sure American law and decency finally catch up to their dangerous power.
