Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and law enforcement officials on Wednesday called on YouTube to end its algorithm making ghost gun videos accessible to children.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg broadened his war against “ghost guns” on Wednesday by singling out a new source for the spread of illegal firearms: YouTube.
Law enforcement officials in New York City on Wednesday called on YouTube to change its algorithm to prevent videos on how to build ghost guns from being seen by children.
More young people are learning how to make guns online, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said Wednesday.
“Particularly when it comes to younger New Yorkers, preventing a crime is always better than prosecuting one,” said District Attorney Bragg. “I am proud to say that more than two hundred teens and young adults have earned stipends through our Youth Gun Violence Prevention Initiative over the past two summers, and we look forward to supporting more young New Yorkers this year. I urge community-based organizations throughout Manhattan to apply for funding and to help spread the word!”
