New York Attorney General Letitia James announced Wednesday that her office has launched an investigation into Twitch, Discord, 4chan, 8kun (previously 8chan), and other web and social media platforms in response to the racist attack in Buffalo, New York. The investigation will focus on \u201cplatforms that may have been used to stream, promote, or plan the event.\u201d<\/p>\n

James is focusing her attention on the platforms the shooter used to \u201cdiscuss and amplify\u201d the attack. The gunman reportedly planned his attack<\/a> in a private server on Discord before the shooting. In a document written by the shooter, he mentions using and getting influenced by both 4chan<\/a> and 8chan, two sites known for a lack of moderation. <\/p>\n

\u201cAs we continue to mourn and honor the lives that were stolen, we are taking serious action to investigate these companies for their roles in this attack,\u201d James said in a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My office is launching investigations into the social media companies that the Buffalo shooter used to plan, promote, and stream his terror attack.<\/p>\n

We are investigating Twitch, 4chan, 8chan, and Discord, among others, all platforms that the shooter used to amplify this attack.<\/p>\n

\u2014 NY AG James (@NewYorkStateAG) May 18, 2022<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On Saturday, a white supremacist gunman killed 10 people and injured three in an attack targeting a Black community. He streamed the entire attack on Twitch, which was later shared on Twitter, Facebook, and other platforms even as the networks worked to take them down.<\/p>\n

A Discord spokesperson said the company \u201cwill cooperate\u201d with the investigation. The spokesperson, who asked to not be named due to the sensitive subject matter, said that the shooting suspect\u2019s Discord server was private until about 30 minutes before the attack when it was shared with a \u201csmall group\u201d of people. \u201cWe are continuing to do everything we can to assist law enforcement and the investigation remains ongoing,\u201d the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

Twitch didn\u2019t immediately respond to The Verge<\/em>\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
