Families of Uvalde school shooting victims have filed two lawsuits against Meta, Microsoft, and gunmaker Daniel Defense, alleging they marketed dangerous weapons to impressionable teens like the Uvalde shooter. The complaints claim that Daniel Defense used Instagram and Activision's video game Call of Duty to promote assault-style rifles to teenage boys, with Meta and Microsoft facilitating the strategy. The lawsuits were filed on the two-year anniversary of the shooting, where 19 children and two teachers were killed. The families' lawyers argue that these companies exposed the shooter to the weapon and trained him to use it, leading to the tragic incident.
