Families of the Uvalde victims have filed a lawsuit against Daniel Defense, and Activision over what they claim was their role in promoting the gun used in the shooting.
Gun manufacturers specifically market guns and lobby for laws that make it easier for children to access guns.
Activision does not.
Meta does not.
Activision and Meta are vital parts of how gun makers market guns to children, this suit alleges.
If they are (which is definitely within the capabilities and inclinations of both those companies), then they should be held liable for their role in contributing to the epidemic of children killing people with guns.
Ah, yeah, definitely missed that part of the article.
Not exactly the three-headed Hydra they’re talking about, since defining the role and responsibility of a representative weapon when there are so many other representative weapons not linked to violence, but I can see how they’d want to throw everything at the wall to see what stuck.
Video game still does more harm than good in a suit where you have clearly responsible parties and then one vaguely responsible party with a very simple and strong defense.
It’s like using 4x4s as posts for a cabin and then using a pool noodle instead of a 4x4 at the end.
It fills in the volume a post should go into, but it doesn’t support anything.
