Facebook video, censorship and hypocrisy

Yesterday Diamond 'Lavish' Reynolds began livestreaming the video on Facebook that showed Minnesota police fatally shooting her boyfriend in his car.

About an hour later the video mysteriously disappeared from the social network. Reynolds' Facebook profile was also temporarily removed, leaving many wondering how Facebook could censor content that could be used as evidence.Facebook

Of course the video found its way to the internet from other streets, and so it was soon released on Twitter, YouTube, and elsewhere.

The video showed Reynolds sitting in the car with her boyfriend, Philando Castile, who had just been shot by a police officer. Reynolds said in her Facebook post that her boyfriend just leaned over and died.

They then asked her to leave the vehicle, put her handcuffs, and put her on the back of a patrol with her four-year-old daughter.

What happened in that one hour? Probably some people decided on the fate of the video forgetting that they can not stop the flow of content on the Internet.
