Could we change the link to a better article, like https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/02/dad-who-live-streamed-his-sons-birth-on-facebook-loses-in-court/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/02/dad-who-live-str... ? The article on thememo.com leaves out key information, such as the fact that ABC broadcast only 22 seconds of the 45 minute video.

The linked article also leaves out the fact that somebody recognized the mother and called CPS on him (for her history of domestic violence), while the Ars one includes it. It gives a different view to the incident. Edit: Recognized the mother, not the father.

  Actually, they recognized the father, it seems: > Someone from a past relationship had recognized Kanongataa on Facebook and reported to CPS that he had domestic violence allegations against him. Kanongataa denies those allegations.

The accuracy of the information it does include also seems somewhat suspect. For instance, it includes: > But most would understand why Kali Kanongataa didn’t want his child’s birth aired for all to see But according to http://www.mamamia.com.au/live-streamed-birth-by-accident/ http://www.mamamia.com.au/live-streamed-birth-by-accident/ (linked from the ArsTechnica article): > The Californian dad says he had only initially wanted his family in Tonga to be a part of the experience but once he realised [the video was publicly viewable] he decide to keep going. > Kanongata'a said that "for a second” he hesitated before leaving it for all to see.

Thanks! It's best to email hn@ycombinator.com with these requests because then we're sure to see it. I only saw this one randomly.
