"San Jose Mayor Urges Tech Giants to Curb Sideshow Content"

San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan is urging social media companies like Meta, Snapchat, and TikTok to temporarily suspend accounts that post about local sideshow activities, in an effort to combat the growing sideshow problem in the city. Sideshows, where drivers gather to show off cars and perform stunts, have become more dangerous and popular due to social media. Mahan believes that social media platforms have a responsibility to help create a safe community and ensure that their platforms do not undermine law enforcement efforts. However, critics argue that this proposal may disproportionately target youth of color and raise concerns about privacy and legality. The meeting with the tech giants is scheduled for next month.
