Police Say YouTube Policies Motivated Shooter https://www.wired.com/story/police-say-youtube-policies-motivated-shooter/
In a press conference on Wednesday, Ed Barberini, San Bruno's police chief, said police suspect Aghdam's primary motive was her frustration with "the policies and practices of YouTube." Police are attempting to gain access to Aghdam's social media accounts in order to further understand her exact motives. "We know that she was upset with YouTube," Barberini said. He also explained that police have no reason to believe that she was selecting specific individuals to fire at. There is still no confirmation that all three shooting victims were employed by YouTube. The video platform did not immediately return a request for comment. Aghdam's father Ismail told the The Mercury News that she had been reported missing, and said he told police that she might be going to YouTube headquarters because she "hated" and was "angry" at the company. "She was always complaining that YouTube ruined her life," Aghdam's brother Shahran told the paper. Ismail says that police notified him late Tuesday night that everything was "under control." He also said he was unaware that his daughter owned a weapon. - - - --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lau...@vortex.com): https://www.vortex.com/lauren Lauren's Blog: https://lauren.vortex.com Google Issues Mailing List: https://vortex.com/google-issues Founder: Network Neutrality Squad: https://www.nnsquad.org PRIVACY Forum: https://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: https://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Google+: https://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: https://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 _______________________________________________ pfir mailing list https://lists.pfir.org/mailman/listinfo/pfir
