Do you want terrorist to live stream their terror attacks like what NZ terrorist did?
- thejackgoode 5y agoWho am I to judge that? My point of view is that such livestreams are currently banned for a wrong reason -- for fear of loss of advertising revenue
- jfengel 5y agoTo me, that sounds like exactly the right reason. Let the market decide. If somebody else wants to spend their money to host such things, they're free to do it.
- quantumwannabe 5y agoFacebook’s censorship didn’t stop that though. It also didn’t stop the torturers of a disabled kid in Chicago from live-streaming their brutal crime.
- sumedh 5y agoIt did not stop the live stream but after they took it down, it could not spread further. If we remove censorship such tragic events will spread easily.
- philliphaydon 5y agoI’m not sure how you can compare trying to bring awareness to the world of people suffering, vs someone carrying out criminal activity via live stream.
- sumedh 5y agoOP's point was to remove any form of censorship.
- EricE 5y agoNo, but I think the evidence is clear that the alternatives are far worse in totality. Bad stuff happens. Thinking you can filter it out is a fools errand.
- weimerica 5y agoYes. I, as a student of violence, gained incredibly useful information from analysis of that video. The ways in which people, moved, hid, fled, Red Sweater Guy's failed counter-attack. Those were all incredibly valuable things to watch. Being involved in security planning, IT and otherwise, I have to bring the best possible information from the real-world to help mitigate and plan.
- ronsor 5y agoDoes that even matter? Whether or not an attack is live streamed, it still happened.
- sneak 5y agoYes. Everyone, including criminals, deserves human rights.
