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.
If the suggestion algorithms helped radicalize the attacker, by feeding him moreand more racist content, then that is entirely different from a mass shooting scene in a movie.
Racist content doesn’t fly on youtube…unless it’s put out there by corporate outlets.
That… isn’t true at all.
Unless they’re just blatantly saying slurs, which they almost never do, the dog whistles never get caught by the moderation bots.
