Facebook refuses to explain why live video of attack wasn't removed sooner
guardian ^ | 1/5/17 | solon

Facebook on Thursday refused to respond to mounting questions over its apparent failure to take down a live broadcast of the brutal attack of a young man with disabilities in Chicago.

Wednesday’s Facebook Live video showing a man bound, gagged and cut with a knife amid shouts of “fuck Donald Trump” undermines the company’s efforts to market the tool.

For the last few months, Facebook has been running a multimedia advertising campaign encouraging users to try its video live-streaming product.

People are outraged. So there is that. Had this not been streamed we would not know about it. Gofundme for the poor guy is gaining. Now at $13k. My god this kid was scalped. He will likely have scars just from that...let alone all the counseling he is going to need.

First I don’t care for your opinion on this at all.

I'm mortified to learn that and my day is ruined.

Maybe you are on the wrong forum.

I hope you don't report that to Facebook.

Either way your response is trollish at best here.

Yeah, you probably ought to report me to Facebook.

Stay Awesome, you.

I have already reported two live porn/sex feeds. They don’t respond to the reports. That is the problem. If they are going to have this function, they will have to police it 24x7.

You are the one out of place and mistaken. Mistaken is the politest way I can describe your opinion or the fact we aren’t laughing when we call you dim.

Another thing I would bet facebook does have an obligation to report a kidknapping and torture if they are aware it is ongoing. Not to mention potentially life threatening, knowing the perpetrators identification, location and cell number.

Once found guilty, and we all know for certainty they are guilty, there is absolutely NO EXCUSE to keep these animals alive. Now, TODAY, is the time to put a stop to such idiotic brutality which has been allowed to escalate by a “do nothing” society. My comments have NOTHING to do with their race although their actions DID. The hatred displayed by such ilk demands a public execution in front of the entire nation to make certain the message is sent loud and clear, the American people have had enough and the consequences for repeating anything of this nature will result in a similar ending. Simply, hang the bastards, they are beyond salvation.

It took FB 2 or 3 days to delete a death threat that I received a month or so ago. It was during that time frame when they were openly threatening electors, and I responded on a thread about such a story. The egghead that posted decided that I and my right-wing friends from middle America needed to be killed too. Words to the effect that they would be after "us" when they were done with the electors.

Naturally, I reported it to FB. Their first response was to claim that it didn't reach the level where they'd need to intervene, but then they reconsidered the next day and removed the errant post.

We? Is that you and the Gerbil in your.. pocket?

Fact is you expected Facebook to police this thing.
That ain't their job.

Did you know that domestic terrorists buy gasoline?
Why aren't you mad at Shell or Exxon for selling it to them?
Same deal.

Please don't alert the Facebook police.

Go to Facebook, ( If you have an account), click on settings, go to blocking then type in Facebook Security...

Now view all the people that are monitoring you. You can’t block these people.

Facebook is too busy removing posts that condemn terrorists and criminals to worry about violence against white men or against Jews.

If the perps had said something anti-Islamic, you bet your sweet bippy Facebook would have taken it down faster than you can say ‘Jack Robinson.’

WOW! The first stream I reported was blatant. You would think they would have a team sitting there responding to those pings on reports... oh yeah, that video stream needs to be stopped now.

BTW, that video was from the Chicago area too.

THAT’S why I belong to this site.

Good IQ but not sharp enough to pick things like this up.

IQ is worthless :)

I hate that I can’t do that!

Wow. Now I’m tempted to get a FB account just to test that.
