Posts on Bitton’s personal Facebook page shed light on his mental state over the past few years.
He has long accused the tech giant of torturing him, resulting in psychological pain.
“I think Google is okay with torturing anyone across its entire Android OS ecosystem, no security updates for almost 4 years,” he wrote in 2021.
He has also repeatedly accused Google of “news censorship.”
In other photos and videos, Bitton entered the police station to attempt to report the company for alleged cybercrime.
“America has fallen,” he wrote after police reportedly said they couldn’t help.
“The Constitution is undermined by Big Tech. NYC Bureau Office [sic] is focused on using AI in wrong places, especially social control, why look around,” he wrote.
Court records show that in 2019, the man filed a lawsuit against Google in the Brooklyn Supreme Court.
At the time, he claimed they had “secret access to injure and harass him.”

The complaint also stated that Bitton had been “diagnosed with extreme photophobia,” an extreme sensitivity to light.
It says he made “several visits to the hospital for debilitating headaches, eye pain, spinal and body pain” due to Google’s alleged “torture.”
Bitton’s court requests were ultimately denied.
“While the court sympathizes with Mr. Bitton’s lingering injuries and physical ailments, it simply cannot file his complaints as they stand,” a suit reads.
