First Steve Stevens. And now Wuttisan Wongtalay.
I think it's time to rethink this Facebook Live thing.
According to BBC news, Wongtalay got into an argument with his wife and hung first his baby daughter, and then himself, at a deserted hotel.
If this isn't horrific enough, his family and friends were able to watch on, too late to do anything to save either of them.
Mark Zuckerburg made a statement about the incidences and reported that they wanted to make Facebook applications as safe as possible, but that's impossible when people are freaking crazy.
What is the sick appeal of posting murders and tragedies on live? How do you make something like that safe when it is not something that can be monitored?
I'm not even going to make any snarky remarks here, because this is a terrible situation, both for the mother who lost both her husband and daughter, and the family members that had to witness both of their deaths.
There's a reason that images and videos are censored. Unless it can be controlled, Facebook Live should take the recent tragedies posted on their site and shut it down.
We're already a world consumed by the pornography of grief. We don't need to see it happen live.
