“You do too little, far too late, Facebook”

“Martin had not even a breakdown of the social mediegiganten”

“the Whole idea with Facebook is that the users should share as much as possible of their lives. “

“But what happens when it goes right, right to hell too far?”

“the Answer to that question seems to be: quite a bit. And, above all, far too late.”

“the Murders in the Sala is far from a lone example of how the social mediegiganten becomes the platform for a live tragedy ochu002Feller serious crime.”

“Facebook Live, i.e. the feature which makes it possible to send directly on Facebook, was launched with the blatantly 2016. First it was celebrities, then the media and the public. “

“Everyone who works professionally with live broadcasts, for example, media companies such as Aftonbladet, know that the new technology opened up amazing opportunities. But we are also fully aware of the new technology’s backsides.”

“To broadcast live does mean that you turn off the ability to an active editor and utgivarskap. Anything can happen – and is happening.”

“the Laws with the responsible publisher, as the media falls under, allows, for example, spreads the message that can be criminal is responsible, not those who speak the message. This, in combination with the countless other risks, makes that the media, despite an initial live-baiting is pretty frugal with live broadcasts in the event of potentially sensitive news events.”

“in Order to circumvent this, one can for example send something with a little delay, so that you have time to turn down the lights, the consignment on something you don’t want to spread pops up. “

“the Media have applied these precautions in years, if not decades. They work proactively. The same can’t always say about Facebook.”

“Just as in the management of the Cambridge Analytica-scandal, you get the impression that Facebook has become too big for themselves. They don’t seem to be able to think proactively, but often get stuck in reactive measures. “

“Facebook, always balancing at the intersection between technology companies and media companies, has been under severe pressure for several years to remove the so-called fake news, hate, and threats. After the high-profile cases with the live suicide, the press has increased.”

“Facebook has responded by hiring an army of people to monitor the content that is posted. They called in the robots. Despite the fact that we see time and time again how it fails. Even in the Sala the case was the film left in over ten hours before it was deleted.”

“of Course, social media can also help people who go with thoughts of suicide. To know that you have the sympathy and support from near and dear ones – for example, via social media – can save lives. And Facebook is considered to be far ahead of the game when it comes to suicide prevention measures.”

“But Facebook should have predicted that if you make it possible for everyone to filterlöst live whatever, yes then will things like this happen. That they had not a better plan is surprising. “
