The school shooting in Fagersta last Friday, when a 17-year-old girl was killed and two boys were seriously injured, is the latest in a series of violent incidents at Swedish schools in recent years.
The government is now appointing a school shooting commission that will work to prevent future attacks.
One of its tasks is to review any requirements that need to be set for different social media platforms.
They have a huge role and take absolutely no responsibility when it comes to this glorified content, says Simona Mohamsson.
“Completely unacceptable”
After the attack in Fagersta, the suspected perpetrator's presence on social media has been noted, while material about the crime has since been spread online.
"Now we have many children under 15 who are sitting and scrolling ahead of a new school week and taking part in this. It is completely unacceptable that we have social media giants who do not take responsibility for protecting our children," says Simona Mohamsson.
Among other things, the commission will analyse all Swedish school shootings over the past fifteen years, but also look at experiences from shootings in, for example, Finland.
The authorities must get better at "discovering whether someone is truly dangerous," write Ulf Kristersson (M), Ebba Busch (KD) and Simona Mohamsson (L) on Svenska Dagbladet's debate page .
“Too early”
It is too early to say what further measures may be required, according to Mohamsson.
When school acts like this happen, it is an attack on the entire community and then the entire community must come together and see what needs to be done further moving forward, she says.
But so far, it is too early in this incident to know what it is that society failed to do.
