Slain reporter's father takes on Facebook over violent video

profits before people for this and many other companies....

i ditched FB a while ago tbh. The site really didn’t have anything to offer aside from anti-vax weirdos, stop the steal loons, Russian bot farms, and flat earthers

Short of prohibiting all internet discussions altogether I don't know what the solution is. Making social media providers legally liable for what is posted on their discussion board will have the same effect as banning them. Firms are not going to be willing to take legal risks if something someone they have no control over posts something objectionable that gets them sued. Every post would have to be read and cleared before posting, and the cost isn't going to be worth it for most social media companies. Social media will cease to exist. There is probably no technical means to stop this either. There are just too many ways to repackage content so a software designed to look for banned content will miss something sooner or later. And then social media companies risk lawsuits for banning content some other person, company or group thinks should not be banned. I would bet money there is at least one group that feels Facebook should have no right to prohibit that video and would call the deletion of it "censorship" that should be prohibited just as many on the right object to calls for violent demonstrations or provably false conspiracy theories should not be banned.
