A New York appellate court on July 25 dismissed a lawsuit filed against Meta, Google, and several other social media and Internet-based companies that arose out of a 2022 mass shooting at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York.
The mass shooting at Tops Friendly Markets in Buffalo on May 14, 2022, left 10 people dead and three injured. Police arrested Payton Gendron, an 18-year-old white man who in November 2022 pleaded guilty to murder and hate-motivated terrorism charges. Gendron apologized for the attack.
