The families of the victims in the Buffalo supermarket shooting from last May have sued more than half a dozen Big Tech companies alleging that they gave the shooter a platform to take in racist and violent views before committing the shooting.
Diona Patterson, Barbara Mapps and Shawanda Rogers, whose loved ones were killed in the shooting, and survivor Latisha Rogers filed the lawsuit in New York Supreme Court in Erie County on Friday against social media companies like Meta, Facebook’s parent company; Snap, Inc., which runs Snapchat; Discord; Amazon, which owns Twitch; and Reddit.

Pass the popcorn.
They failed to trample on the public’s First Amendment rights? Now they must pay!!!
Why not sue that “former federal agent” (read: contractor) that was in contact with him?
What about CNN?
Yes commrades.
When can we sue the families for stuff we don’t like they had access to?
I suggest the court award them all a one-way trip to cuba or north korea after stripping their citizenship. Into a paradise where info is highly controlled and censored.
lol BS suit that will be thrown out. If they really want to sue somebody they need to sue the local democratic party, the city and the DA office for refusing to prosecute criminals.

I’m guessing that it’s not really those people, but their slimy lawyers.
“Let’s sue them for $1 million. They’ll give us $40,000 to go away. You get 60% of that. I’ll take 40%.”
Enter (the) Sandman?
(That was the online name of his fed handler, The Sandman.)
They’re going to pay-up just to make this go away.
Diona, Shawanda, Latisha. Yep, just as expected.
Cradle to grave welfare leaches.
Big tech social media corps are evil but free exchange of information and ideas is solidly covered by the 1st Amendment.
They should sue the FBI since the shooter was being influenced by a “former” FBI agent. Inciting people to commit crimes is not covered by the 1st A.
Agree; never too late to try and extort a big payoff from anyone who has money and has a vague relationship with the death of a family member.
That would be the end of rap “music”, movies, and television.
Uh, no.
“Ghetto Lottery”
Sue porn sites for rapists, molesters, serial killers... the possibilities are endless.
