[16:31] Guest Interview: Sarah Westall – Big Tech, AI & Censorship

[16:31 - 23:44] Segment Overview

Sarah Westall (investigative reporter) discusses:

• Robbie Starbuck's Lawsuit vs. Google: Allegations of AI (Gemini) generating slanderous, false accusations (e.g., rape, Epstein ties) that Google refused to remove, possibly as targeted harassment.

• Monopoly Concerns: Google’s control over information globally (~99.9% in some countries), making it nearly impossible for alternative voices to surface.
