    This is more akin to if you sold a fatty food in a supermarket and someone died from being overweight.

    Radicalizing someone to do this isn’t a crime. Freedom of speech isn’t absolute but unless someone gives them actual orders it would still be protected.

    Don’t apply UK’s lack of freedom of speech in American courts.

      No. It’s actually more akin to someone designing a supermarket that made it near impossible for a fat person to find healthy food and heavily discounted fatty foods and someone died from being overweight.
