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.

Now you're putting words into everyone else's mouth. Who said any of those things are solely responsible for this tragedy? Why are you arguing as if the shooter is walking free while prosecutors go after YouTube and Reddit?

Then why are they suing Youtube and Reddit if they don't think those platforms are responsible? I'm saying that you people want to blame every fucking other thing in the world, EXCEPT for the person doing the fucking crime. How am I arguing that the shooter is free? I'm literally saying, this kid would have likely done this with or without those things and the stupid idea that a license would prevent it is asinine.

This right here:

The shooter is facing his day in court as will the companies who helped drive him to commit this tragedy.

lol, ok. sure buddy. Any yet we get constant cries for the removal of guns because without guns this wouldn't happen right?

Not sure what this has to do with the rest of the discussion, but no I don't think mass shootings would be very common if guns didn't exist.
