The system can’t allow this or a dangerous precedent is set. Expect millions in a settlement
Yea this ain’t social media or games or rap music’s fault.
This is about how we raise young men.
From the article:
“By his own admission, Gendron, a vulnerable teenager, was not racist until he became addicted to social media apps and was lured, unsuspectingly, into a psychological vortex by defective social media applications designed, marketed, and pushed out by Social Media Defendants, and fed a steady stream of racist and white supremacist propaganda and falsehoods by some of those same Defendants’ products,” the lawsuit reads.
I’d say it is at least partially social media’s fault.
If you’re willing to blame social media, get ready to blame trump and most of the republican party for incitement o such acts.
Oh I do.
If you’re willing to trust him as a source for analysis on his own condition.
I’m sticking to my guns (sorry) on this one. It’s a cultural problem.
There are so many other stories of social media radicalizing people. It was a huge issue at the height of ISIS’ power. I’m not saying all social media is bad or it will turn everyone into killers, but I’m not sure why you don’t think the social pressures inherent in any system involving a community of people won’t have an influence.

Isn’t this specifically what I said in the first place?
I’m just adding the step of not blaming one medium so it’s easy to think the job is done when we all know that barbarism begins at home.
