Mangione has been charged with first-degree murder "in furtherance of terrorism," which may clarify things for platforms about whether to consider him as a single accused murderer or an alleged terrorist when it comes to content policy.

Convict him of that shit first, otherwise you're just allowing the government to dictate moderation policies. He's only being charged with terrorism so the state can murder him. I'm not saying anti-terror policies are bad in general, but this is abuse of the system.

The fact that Luigi has not been convicted seems to be being treated as an irrelevant technicality by the media in this matter. Interesting given how scrupulous they usually are in dropping "alleged" everywhere.

Too bad Luigi isn't a cop, then they might have given him a slap on the wrist and a description of events in the media that read "last night the trigger of Luigi's self defense weapon caused ignition in the barrel which resulted in a bullet being ejected at high speed. Healthcare provider and loyal family man Brian Thomson was tragically caught in the path of the (*several) bullets. Authorities are investigating the bullets to determine their motive."
