A $280 billion investment fund wants to boot all of Meta and Twitter's directors over their handling of the Buffalo shooting

A $280 billion fund invested in Meta and Twitter wants to boot every director from each company's board over failures relating to how hateful content was policed in the wake of the Buffalo mass shooting.

New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, trustee of the New York State Common Retirement Fund, said in regulatory filings Monday that his fund will vote against re-electing all directors at Meta and Twitter at their next annual meetings, both of which are scheduled for Wednesday.

A gunman shot dead ten people in Buffalo, New York, in a racist attack on May 14. Of the 13 people injured or killed in the attack, 11 were Black. The gunman streamed footage of the attack live on Twitch, echoing the 2019 Christchurch, New Zealand attack in which a gunman streamed footage live on Facebook.
