One Common Denominator

Reading Time: 5 minutesAs the words of our President have become a part of the manifesto of a crazed killer on the opposite side of our planet, we need to start taking the responsibility of what’s happening here much more seriously because this is not normal. House Speaker Pelosi was recently quoted as saying although Trump is not fit to be president she also didn’t think he’s worth the impeachment process. Those words make no sense to me.

I’ll tell you who else might question that logic: The people of Christchurch New Zealand who are in the process of burying their dead. Trump is more than an inconvenience.

VANITY FAIR: HOW THE NEW ZEALAND SHOOTER HIJACKED OUR SOCIAL MEDIA HELL-SCAPE

Reading Time: 2 minutesThe right-wing attack on two New Zealand mosques Friday, which left nearly 50 dead and dozens wounded, seemed specifically designed to go viral. In the wake of the shooting, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube were left scrambling to stop the spread of a 17-minute video of the attack, recorded by the 28-year-old Australian gunman, that was live-streamed and shared across all three platforms. Tech giants have faced versions of this same struggle before, having repeatedly failed to tamp down on conspiracy theories after other large-scale tragedies. But the Christchurch video, and companies’ efforts to contain it, has intensified scrutiny of the platforms’ handling of offensive and dangerous content—particularly when the perpetrator is Web-savvy.
