Those companies use ML algorithms that inflate the ranking of harmful content, which can lead to this. They hold some responsibility for profiting off of this.
It’s sad when teens die, but bring up any other phenomenon and you’ll see it that has its own victims too. E.g. look at love. How many people it killed or mentally crippled? Let’s get rid of it.
In my child/teenhood there was no internet at all and we found numerous ways to put ourselves in unnecessary danger. When I recall these times, I just wonder how almost all of us managed to live to adulthood.
