0:06.0 | And the first thing we're to talk about today is YouTube and Google are being sued by some of their creators. |
0:11.0 | And specifically we're talking about LGBTQ, YouTubers who reportedly filed the lawsuit last night. |
0:15.0 | And they're throwing a variety of claims against YouTube. |
