Utah governor links tech algorithms to escalating political violence after Kirk shooting

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox criticized tech companies and "conflict entrepreneurs" for "invading our brains" after the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. A 22-year-old Utah man was charged in a shooting case, which has fueled debate over the role of online content in political violence. Cox advocates stricter regulation of social media algorithms and content reviews in line with state government efforts to hold tech companies accountable for content amplification on a wider range.
