YouTube and Reddit are sued for allegedly enabling the racist mass shooting in Buffalo that left 10 dead::The complementary lawsuits claim that the massacre in 2022 was made possible by tech giants, a local gun shop, and the gunman’s parents.

This is a step in the right direction. YouTube and especially Reddit, have some of the most awful moderations in practice to date. People online in general, are some of the poorest role models to be looking up to. They’ll encourage and stoke anyone to do anything. Whether it’s suicide, whether to perform dumb harmful pranks, just anything.
I don’t agree with the local gunshop. The gun store owner couldn’t have known that any gun he’d sell would be used within moments, to take innocent lives. The gunman’s parents? Maaaaaybe a little insight into upbringing and examine that until it’s exhausted before we judge there.

Hundreds, thousands of deaths due to gun violence committed right after the gun was bought would disagree with you
Most gun violence involves weapons that are less than 6 months old.
Did the gun owner tell gun purchasers to kill?
Did the gun start having voices of it’s own to tell people to kill?
You figure that out.
No, the gun owner pulled that trigger. Take away the gun and he can’t pull that trigger anymore.
It’s not that hard, and mental gymnastics won’t help your cause
What is a gun for again? Shooting and… c’mon. You know the answer.
You think very black and white. I’m not entertaining that.
I’m with stupid
You don’t know how I think, this is our first interaction ever. How can you know what I think? Why are you not able to tell me what guns are for? They are for killing. Either hunting animals or shooting people.
Are there any other uses for guns besides that? What, target practice for funsies? Where you… shoot a silhouette of a human? (I’m sure some places just have a target instead but what else would you be practicing shooting for?)
