What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

NDP Leader David Eby called for social media and other companies to be held accountable for reporting conversations that cause harm. This demand follows an FBI complaint detailing extensive online communications involving the Tumbler Ridge shooter during the planning of her attack. The complaint alleges that the shooter and James Bryant spent months discussing tactics and weaponry via the Discord messaging platform before attempting to livestream the murders on Twitch.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The call for mandatory reporting places increased regulatory pressure on online platforms. While some experts note that regulating private messaging platforms is controversial due to privacy concerns, Eby stated that government lawyers will examine the complaint and legal obligations to report wrongdoing need to be put on tech companies.
