What has Facebook exactly “unleashed” upon the world? Facebook didn’t invent live streaming. You think someone determined won’t be able to do a one-off stream without Facebook?
> In contrast, Facebook released their creation on the world without the tools needed to keep it safe.
Instead we should be more like China. They keep their citizens safe, right?
Yes, free speech has negative externalities. But imagine world without it.
- panarky 8y ago> Facebook didn't invent live streaming When you understand why the terrorist selected Facebook to livestream instead of hundreds of other services, then you'll understand why Facebook is the problem and not livestreaming itself.
- deno 8y agoIf you have an argument to make then make it. The live stream was viewed meager 200 times. The logistical purpose of a live stream is that it’s hard to upload videos when you’re in a shoot out with police or dead. Perhaps you should blame 4G networks and portable cameras for enabling this tragedy.

- deno 8y agoSo you think their censorship is not up to snuff then?
- aeternus 8y agoThere are many sites and apps that support live-streaming. It is very difficult if not impossible to stop the spread of information, especially with the internet. Other platforms that could have been used: youtube, twitch, periscope, vimeo, younow, dailymotion, ooyala, even IBM has a live video streaming offering.
- Throwway32 8y agoThe current interpretation of the First Amendment dates back only to 1969. And even the US government had no qualms about ordering a drone strike on a US citizen who was engaging in violent and hateful incitement. There have been, and there are no, societies in the world with absolute free speech.
- deno 8y agoYou make a throwaway account to denigrate free speech. How ironic.
- Throwway32 8y agoThe admins know my IP address. If I was posting from Tor, I’d have been dead-flagged automatically. If I was making violent threats, I’d have my comment killed at best. None of those are inconsistent with free speech.
