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.

      Mhm. Your anecdotal ‘feels’ outweigh actual data, sounds about right(wing).

      How about you at least try to back up what you say with anything at all beyond ‘I believe it’s true’? Because nobody outside your bubble is going to take that seriously.

      I’m from a city roughly the size and makeup of LA, so you can keep your ‘online life’ comment to yourself.

      e-side note: real people are behind these usernames, you know. Not NPCs or drones, but actual people with lives sharing similarities to your own in varying degrees. People aren’t black and white caricatures, and treating them as though they’re hypothetical characters in fake worlds further detaches you from them and can lead to a distorted worldview.

      It’s important keep remembering that, because bad actors have been working hard to take advantage of the tendency we all have towards this.
