In response to yesterday’s mass shooting, New York Governor Kathy Hochul proposed that social media companies establish an algorithm that notifies authorities of concerning content posted to their platforms, referring to the recommendation as a “trigger system.

Prior to the shooting, a 180-page manifesto was posted online in which the author identifies himself as Payton Gendron, the 18-year-old suspect. In the document, the author refers to himself as a white supremacist, details conspiracy theories, and outlines plans for the shooting. Hochul said that the trigger system could activate when users upload such “manifesto-type materials” that detail plans to kill others and told NPR that she is “watching to make sure the leaders of these social media companies are going to take responsibility and do much more to do monitoring themselves of content that is placed on their platforms before it is spread.” She expanded on the subject at a press conference, saying that social media companies “have a lot of resources, so don’t tell me they can’t afford it.” Read more at NPR.

  1. No Kathy. You are a fool. What needs to be done, is get rid of you. You’re an UNELECTED privileged white Karen moron. Keep pushing your mask mandate on 3 year olds. Keep pushing CRT

  2. Isn’t this what the FBI does and isn’t this what the content checkers do for hate speech already. They can find hate speech when it comes to certain groups, not the Jews, and check down on it. Hochul should read the
    First Amendment while at it as well. Her liberal press friends thrive on schmutz this won’t go over big with them.

  3. Bunk. This stuff is readily available to search engines. The feds should be trolling the sites with their own bots and algorithms and notifying local police. why entrust this to the social media platforms!

  4. She is doing the responsible thing by wearing a disposable mask. She should be elected as governor to make sure we all stay safe. Vinishmartem.
