A terror attack was literally live streamed on Facebook.

  Which one and why is live streaming (aka what TV news occasionally does) bad?

    Christchurch shooting in New Zealand. It was stomach churning, don't watch it.

      I won't. I'm just trying to determine what this has to do with showing the content. Authorities could have benefitted by seeing the stream, so this isn't a clearcut issue. Do you remember live 9/11 coverage? Were you telling people not to watch that? It's the incitement that we should be concerned about, and balancing restrictions with peaceful freedom of expression.

    The one in Christchurch NZ was streamed by the shooter.

  Wasn't Facebook racing to take down the video?
