UVALDE, Texas - Families of the victims and survivors of the Robb Elementary School massacre have filed wrongful death lawsuits against Meta, Instagram’s parent

Families of the victims and survivors of the Robb Elementary School massacre have filed wrongful death lawsuits against Meta, Instagram’s parent company; Activision, the maker of Call of Duty; and Daniel Defense, the manufacturer of the AR-15 style assault rifle used in the 2022 attack.

The lawsuits, filed on the second anniversary of the third most deadly school shooting in U.S. history, claim that the companies formed an "unholy trinity" over the past 15 years, preying on insecure adolescent boys. According to the complaints, Meta and Activision have enabled firearm manufacturers to expand their market by granting unprecedented access to children, thus facilitating the promotion and normalization of violence.

Activision's Call of Duty franchise is highlighted in the lawsuit for its role in training young, impressionable players to kill, desensitizing them to violence, and rewarding efficient killing. The complaints argue that the game’s realistic depictions of weapons, including the AR-15 used in the Uvalde shooting, contribute to the problem.
