The lawsuit seeks changes to the changes companies’ safety standards, with the plaintiffs calling the platforms “defective and unreasonably dangerous.”
“By his own admission, Gendron, a vulnerable teenager, was not racist until he became addicted to social media apps and was lured, unsuspectingly, into a psychological vortex by defective social media applications designed, marketed, and pushed out by Social Media Defendants, and fed a steady stream of racist and white supremacist propaganda and falsehoods by some of those same Defendants’ products,” the lawsuit reads.
I'd say it is at least partially social media's fault.
