Give or take a live-streamed Christchurch massacre?

  Yes. One disastrous livestream in the history of the feature, with further controls added almost immediately as a result.

    Neither Youtube nor Facebook currently are able to filter all these incidents. This happened after Christchurch: https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/1853804/mass-shooter-killed-at-korat-mall-20-dead https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/1853804/mass-sh... I could swear there was also a Christchurch copy-cat attack in Europe, but I can't remember sufficient details about it to find an article. Perhaps that one wasn't streamed on FB. I don't have encyclopedic knowledge of Facebook atrocities (I closed my account nearly a decade ago), but without vetting content before it goes live, I don't see how they will entirely prevent these videos from reaching some users.

      I don't know that all is realistic. It's the desired unattainable goal. Almost all is the current status quo. If a service like FB were to adopt a volunteer moderator model, that track record would crash by definition because the moderators would be seeing the garbage. (That's before we factor in unintended consequences such as the risk that a critical mass of moderators decide the garbage is signal and start passing it. It's more risk than FB wants to take on for a problem they already solve via paid employees).
