YouTube and Reddit are sued for allegedly enabling the racist mass shooting in Buffalo that left 10 dead::The complementary lawsuits claim that the massacre in 2022 was made possible by tech giants, a local gun shop, and the gunman’s parents.

    I sub to primarily leftist content and their YouTube shorts algorithm insists on recommending the most vile far right content on the planet. It is to the point that I’m convinced YouTube is intentionally trying to shift people far right

      Wow I am so surprised by this. I watch mainly tech and gardening YouTube and my shorts have been extremely applicable to me.

      Even when I use a new computer like at work the shorts are mostly pop culture.

      Didn’t make shorts any less annoying though
