Facebook: tragic drama in real time
 |
Yes I am sure that the folks at facebook would just as soon not be such an outlet. The surprising thing is the cruelty some have shown for others, even helpless baby girls by their fathers.
In the sum total of who we are how do we balance real time video servers with a need for content vetting ? The problem certainly isn't time delay so much as that people problem of too few eyes to place on the feeds.
Were it possible to monitor so many simultaneous video transmissions such as that methodology used in malls back before brick and mortar retail begain failing. Rows and columns of monitors with some security guard fellow watching ... scanning for skullduggery.
I simply can't see that scenario as ever being practical. Perhaps with the advent of AI sufficient to the task the stream can be monitored for patterns with raise suspicion and then call attention to those eyes for verification.
All I know is too many sick individuals are out there and they aren't all in California anymore. How to balance accountability in a litigious world hell bent on making a buck regardless of how tragic the circumstances.
Once upon a time animal cruelty was the big thrill video on social media. Now we have evolved to full blown people cruelty and the copycats and those out to beat the joneses likely have a lot more depravity in store.
Bless the innocent victims here for they never intended to provide a show. They were just picked out for tragedy, often times by someone they were supposed to be able to trust with that very life stolen from them and broadcast live for the world to see.
