Photo: APWhy did Facebook air live video of the New Zealand mosque shooting for 17 minutes? In a blog post on Tuesday , Sonderby said the first user report didn't come until 12 minutes after the broadcast ended. Facebook didn't immediately respond to a request for comment and questions about its communications with police. Experts say live video poses unique challenges, and complaints about live streaming suicides, murders and beatings regularly come up. Vaidhyanathan said Facebook's live video feature has turned into a beast that Facebook can do little about "short of flipping the switch."
