A New York state judge has ruled that lawsuits against social media companies, including Meta, Alphabet, Reddit, and 4chan, can proceed, alleging that the platforms contributed to the radicalization of a gunman who killed 10 people at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York in 2022. The judge denied a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, stating that the complaint sufficiently pleads viable causes of action to go forward at this stage of the litigation. The social media companies named in the lawsuit had filed a motion to dismiss, arguing that they are akin to message boards containing third-party content, but the judge ruled that it is too early to dismiss the actions or inaction of the social media/internet defendants through their platforms as a matter of law. YouTube and Reddit have expressed disagreement with the decision and plan to appeal, while also emphasizing their efforts to identify and remove extremist content from their platforms.
