DEMOCRACY NOW: The Killings in Buffalo NY
Color Of Change President Rashad Robinson is interviewed by Democracy NOW’s Amy Goodman on the racist murders at a grocery store in Buffalo NY earlier this month. Rashad talks not just about the horror of the violence inflicted by the white nationalist shooter, but also how Big Tech could and should be intervening, instead of escalating and amplifying violence like this. He says, “There is a direct thru line between the tech industry’s lack of regulation and the anti-Black violence we saw in Buffalo.” The entire attack was livestreamed on Twitch, and even once removed from that platform, put up on Facebook, where it stayed up because execs insist it doesn’t violate their terms of service.
