    You are literally making my argument.

    The algorithm is causing this and it’s creators need to be held accountable. Thats the fucking point.

      And I’m telling you that the algorithm isn’t causing this.

      The underlying root cause of these things have nothing to do with marketing or any algorithm that any marketing firm employs.

      The underlying issues are mental illness and a lack of mental health Care in America Not to mention the basically suggestions we have for gun control instead of laws.

      Marketing firms cannot and should not be held accountable for people freely using the internet or any other service that also have mental illness

      The relevant conundrum is that they should regardless take some kind of responsibility for this Even if they have no liability.

      The fact that you are even talking about stuff like this even if it is out of ignorance and probably naivety is that you are detracting from the underlying issues causing these things to occur in the first place.

      This whole thing is nothing more than a frivolous lawsuit specifically designed to make a little bit of profit from a settlement preying on the grief and torment of people who lost a child in that terrible shooting.
