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.

Stop blaming websites for crazy people doing crazy things.
When the Joker movie came out in 2019, everyone on CNN was saying it was going to cause mass shootings, because of that one lunatic that shot up a movie theater during a screening of “the dark knight”
The idiots who write the material for the talking heads just want to stir things up so they can get eyeballs on the screen.
I bet the outlets that were giving live coverage of the shooting showed ads every 5 minutes…like they did with that one really bad shooting.

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.

I made my point in my original comment.
Crazy people are just crazy
