Original Note:
Social Media co's do not delete the accounts of mass shooters; they inactivate them then archive the data. That said data is given to law enforcement, courts and violence researchers when appropriate. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-07-06/tech-firms-delete-mass-shooters-accounts-but-it-s-not-enough#xj4y7vzkg https://www.forbes.com/sites/petersuciu/2022/05/25/social-media-increasingly-linked-with-mass-shootings/?sh=c6d48a93c732 This is done to not glorify or copycat the shooters publicly. https://www.colorado.edu/today/2022/05/31/after-mass-shooting-examining-role-media-coverage https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5296697/ https://www.center4research.org/copy-cats-kill/
