Facebook has been misused in the past with content such as pornography and videos of ISIS beheading circulating on the social media site. The Daily Caller, a right-wing publication has re-posted a graphic video of an attack of a disabled man in Chicago.
'The 30-minute attack, which shows a man bound, gagged and cut with a knife, was viewed live by 16,000 people and eventually removed by Facebook for violating its community standards. Facebook prohibits the celebration or glorification of crimes on its platform.' - The Guardian.
- The video was watched more than 7 million times and shared more than 200,000 times.
- Facebook struggles to deal with cases like this just like this re-posted source, the publication dodged getting fined for their actions since it had a message on the left side (as seen in the picture) that is supposed spread the negativity of hate-crimes.
- After the Facebook Live broadcast, four suspects were charged with hate crimes, kidnapping and battery.
