Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) reiterated concerns about YouTube’s handling of ghost guns in April, writing in a letter that related videos were being “actively pushed by YouTube’s algorithms to minors who begin watching clips of video games.”
“As alleged, Miguel Urena intentionally fired a gun in the direction of a man in a crowded subway station, recklessly disregarding the risk to his fellow New Yorkers,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Although nobody was hit, several individuals had to jump out of the way for safety. The alleged conduct is unacceptable, and we will continue to prosecute those who commit acts of violence in our transit system.”
It is not morally okay and it should not be legally permissible to have sex with someone who is so intoxicated that they cannot reasonably consent. There should be consequences for that behavior. But New York state law fails to adequately protect those individuals. That needs to change.
The person accused of punching actor Steve Buscemi and another man in New York last month has been charged with one count of second-degree assault and two counts of third-degree assault, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office says.
“We have heard firsthand from young individuals that YouTube’s algorithm is driving them to the world of illegal and 3-D printed firearms, which is having a direct impact on the safety of Manhattanites,” Bragg said in a statement on Wednesday.
