Facebook video, censorship and hypocrisy

Χθες η Diamond ‘Lavish' Reynolds άρχισε να κάνει livestreaming στο Facebook το βίντεο που εμφάνιζε την της Μινεσότα να πυροβολεί θανάσιμα το φίλο της στο αυτοκίνητό του.

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 be censoring which can be used as evidence.Facebook

Of course the video found its way to the from other avenues, and so it was soon circulating 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.

Hypocrisy:

In a statement to TechCrunch, Facebook said that the video was removed from the social network because there was a technical problem. The video was restored about an hour later and re-released online along with a warning message.

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.

Let us recall that recently Facebook had because according to many complaints it is biased in the trending topics it shows, and such "damages" obviously do not help the situation.
