Families of the Uvalde, Texas, shooting victims have filed lawsuits against several tech and arms companies, accusing them of "wrongful death." The lawsuits, filed on Friday in California and Texas, target companies including Meta, Activision (the publisher of the video game Call of Duty), and arms manufacturer Daniel Defense.
According to The Hill, the families allege that these companies have groomed "a generation of young men who are socially vulnerable, insecure about their masculinity, and eager to show strength and assert dominance." The complaints claim these companies are "indoctrinating a particular demographic: adolescents who are vulnerable to marketing that stokes their sense of aggrievement and desire for power."
