Buffalo mass shooting lawsuit moves forward; NYC's new e-bike safety campaign
from Eyewitness News Extra Time · host WABC-TV
In this edition of Eyewitness News Extra Time, we have more on the latest efforts to stop social media radicalization. It's been nearly two years since a gunman, influenced by racist and radical ideology, walked into a grocery store in Buffalo with murderous intent. He killed 10 Black people that day. Now, a lawsuit filed by survivors of the shooting is moving forward. A judge ruled sites like YouTube, Facebook, and Reddit must face the lawsuits, claiming they helped radicalize a mass shooter. The lawsuit claims these sites profit off of hate posted on its platforms. The companies counter that they are merely message boards, and they are not responsible for what people post. Meanwhile, New York City kicked off a new campaign Tuesday, aimed at urging e-bike riders and e-scooters to help keep themselves and others safe. E-bikes account for more than 75% of all deadly bike crashes in the city and officials believe many of those could have been prevented. Learn more about your ad choices.
