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 lawsuite is ridiculous. You should hold the shooter liable for there actions. Not reddit, the gun shop or anyone else.

      You can however, blame the policies that helped turn the shooter into what he is.

      Like an actual common sense gun law that doesn’t sell guns to mentally ill people.

          Is that how you tell if someone is mentally ill? Just sell them a gun and see if they take it?

            Yeah, we need to implement some kind of system that stores mentally ill people! And then make gun shops call them before every sale!
