Facebook introduces new restrictions on live broadcasts

The attacks in New Zealand, broadcast live on Facebook, have generated much criticism of the social network. They are accused of not having acted correctly, although both the social network and other websites such as YouTube have commented that the rapid expansion of copies of this video made it difficult. Therefore, the social network now introduces new restrictions.

In this way they seek that violent videos of this type are not going to be able to be broadcast live on the web at any time. A somewhat more restrictive new policy, which they hope will help.

Changes in live broadcasts

In this case, bet on less tolerance with users who violate the rules of the live stream on Facebook. Therefore, in this case, with a single time the rules are skipped, said user will be expelled directly, preventing them from uploading content. In addition, if videos are linked to terrorism websites, their profiles will also be directly removed.

Since the terrorist attacks, the social network has been looking for ways in which to introduce some restrictions. Therefore, there may be additional measures soon, with which to limit the emissions of these contents.

Facebook knows that they are facing a serious problem. YouTube also has to take measures in this regard, something that the director of the company has announced. So we will see if these changes take effect on the social network and avoid these situations in the future.
