YouTube and Reddit are accused of contributing to the 'radicalization' of the Tops supermarket shooter in Buffalo, New York, in a pair of new lawsuits.
Fox News' Alexis McAdams provides details on the chaotic courtroom scene after a man lunged at the suspect, who was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole.
They allege that YouTube – as well as its parent companies Alphabet Inc. and Google – and Reddit contributed to the"radicalization" of Payton Gendron, who was 18 years old when he opened fire at the Tops Friendly Market in Buffalo on May 14, 2022. Ten people were killed, all of them Black, and three others were wounded.
The first suit was filed on behalf of Wayne Jones, the son of 65-year-old Celestine Chaney, one of the 10 people killed. The second suit seeks compensation for 16 survivors who argue that, while they were not shot, they suffered"lasting harm and severe emotional distress" as a result of being at the scene.
Payton Gendron, center, listens as he is sentenced to life in prison without parole for domestic terrorism motivated by hate and each of the 10 counts of first-degree murder, in an Erie County courtroom, in Buffalo, New York, Feb 15, 2023. They further charge that Reddit Inc."operates a defectively designed social media product that the shooter used, became radicalized on, and gave him information he needed to equip himself for the mass shooting, including about RMA Armament’s combat-style body armor."
