I couldn’t agree more, nor could I have put it better myself. This makes a lot of sense and is clearly articulated.LivreAmour217 wrote: ↑09 Mar 2018, 15:19 I hold the shooter responsible. I also believe that VitalTech does shoulder some partial blame, because they chose to not remove the "Final Notice" feature after they learned of correlation with the shootings. The morally responsible reaction would have been to remove the feature as a precaution. HOWEVER, the watch did not force the shooters go on a rampage, so I don't think that the company could be held legally responsible, just like I don't believe that gun manufacturers should be liable for crimes committed with their products.
The reasons behind why some people choose to commit these horrible crimes are multifaceted. Mental instability, lack of social support, a culture that glorifies violence, and restrictions that are difficult to enforce are some of the reasons. But like I said before, the blame ultimately falls upon the shooter.

I agree, there is a moral responsibility inherit for all the parties. Of course, the main aspect of that lies with the shooter, since it was his personal decision to take that action. However, for corporations, there is also the decision to prioritize profits over the good of the society they are functioning in.
