Distressing footage of murder of 11-month old in Thailand was accessible to Facebook users for approximately 24 hours before being taken downFacebook is coming under fresh pressure over its Facebook Live service after a Thai man broadcast a video of himself killing his 11-month-old daughter. The killing was not broadcast live, but was available to view for three hours before being taken down. Viewers of the live broadcast alerted police who were able to arrest the men. The killing was the first in Thailand known to have been broadcast on Facebook, said deputy police spokesman Kissana Phathanacharoen. Facebook Live allows anyone with a smartphone to broadcast video directly to the social network, and has a big push from Facebook as it takes on rivals Twitter and YouTube’s livestreaming functions.
