After Mass Shootings, Tech Industry Shuns 8chan

Irina Raicu, Director of Internet Ethics, quoted in Voice Of America News.

"The 8chan example is about how tech companies are changing their views about their responsibility when it comes to extreme content, said Irina Raicu, director of the Internet Ethics Program at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University.

“'For a long time, people said it's the responsibility of the poster,' Raicu said. 'We have become more sophisticated about the roles that other players have.'”
