Can Social media have any influence on mass shootings like the one in Texas?

We know now a little more information about the shooting that took place on Tuesday that killed potentially 19 children and two adults and one still in critical condition.

While this blog is more of a technology blog, we now know that the gunman in this case did start on two different social media platforms, and it even went so far as to include direct messages between several people including an unknown girl.

The article I’m about to post was written by Kim herself for komando.com and talks about the case as well as another case which also started on social media.

The article is titled: In the wake of the Texas school shooting, social media must do better and should be studied.

Instead of contacting your senators and the house like Kim says, maybe we can hold social media responsible ourselves. I hardly use Facebook as it is, I don’t have Instagram, but if we really are fed up with the fact that they aren’t doing what they can to combat this, even if a mass shooting took place later, than we shouldn’t be on it.

I don’t post my life on social media , I post articles I’m going to read throughout the landscape from sources i read anyway. This blog posts there so people can read what I like.

But a lot of people are careless and post what they want, some of them like what has happened.. Some are not so careless that way but are careless other ways.

What do you think of this article, and where do we start?
