More than 8 million people stream on Twitch every month, broadcasting more than 2 million hours of video a day. The killings aired for 17 minutes in real-time on Facebook Live before the video was removed; 51 people were killed. AdvertisementAt its peak, the live stream had an audience of 22 simultaneous viewers, according to screenshots from the footage. Someone uploading the shooting video to Facebook probably would have had it automatically caught and blocked. But the morning after the shooting, people were able to post links to the Streamable video that remained on the site for more than 10 hours.
