False claims about the shooter were amplified online by bots, elected officials, influencers, and even prominent business leaders.

He was found in possession of over 365,000 images of child sex abuse material, including some AI-generated images from real photos of students.

In a 2025 year-end post, Instagram chief Adam Mosseri addressed the massive shifts AI is causing in photography, stressing that authenticity will be harder and harder to come by -- and offering thoughts on how creators, camera makers and Instagram itself will need to adapt.
