Social media giants wilfully blind' to knives sold on platforms, police chief warns
Briefly

Commander Stephen Clayman emphasized that 'criminals are buying hundreds of blades in bulk from legitimate sellers and reselling them via social media,' indicating a serious issue.
During the Police Superintendents' Association annual conference, Clayman insisted that major social media platforms must address the issue of weapons being sold and changing hands.
He argued, 'some [social media companies] feel there's no problem here, and I would suggest they need to look again at all they're being wilfully blind to it,' highlighting negligence.
The call to action included a demand for online retailers to alert police when someone purchases a significant quantity of weapons, showcasing the urgency of the situation.
