All these witnesses are teenagers, Yubo’s main audience, and they explained that some users of the social network were already jokingly referring to Ramos before the incident as “the Yubo school attacker”, due to his somber pose and his violent comments. .
However, many of the Internet users chose not to report him, considering that his words were not too out of tune with those of other teenage users on the networks and therefore perceived him as not very credible.
Although some users did alert Yubo to Ramos’s threats, his account remained open.
Yubo has about 60 million users worldwide, almost all of them under 25 years of age, and many of them are teenagers.
On Tuesday, the day of the shooting, Ramos sent a private message to one of his Facebook contacts informing him that he was going to shoot his grandmother; another later in which he explained that he had already done it, and a third in which he announced that he was going to shoot at a school, all of them within an interval of less than half an hour.
