    You can have empathy while simultaneously realizing they obviously have no case.

    The article quotes an attorney representing the families saying that the videos were “material they can’t turn away from”. Come on, now. Those kids weren’t Clockwork Orange’d. Let’s return to reality.

      Objectively speaking, young and impressionable minds are more susceptible to falling for dark patterns.

        That was “Mastengwe”. Pay attention to who you’re replying to next time.

        That goes for all of the people who upvoted your comment, too. Shameful.
