There are two things to say on the matter. One, at least people like that make it easy to prove grievous bodily harm in court. The other one the hypocrisy of Facebook. Post a nude pic and it's taken down within seconds. Post your favorite torture footage and it stays there.

I will stop there, since I admit to hate Facebook with a vengeance. So all I could add would be entirely biased.

For once I agree with you.

It's the reverse on youtube though strangely, they allow all sorts but this video is being taken down at every opportunity.

I think the troll comments is even worse on YouTube than on Facebook.

I do, however, vastly prefer YouTube. But NOT because of the comments. Fuck the comments. Usually.

Youtube comments are a cancer but they're part of its charm.

If I am given the choice between nudity or porn even, and the display of real acts of violence, I go with the former two. Not that I would have something against nudity and porn in the first place.

In an ideal world, these platforms would inform the authorities under their own steam if someone posts real violence.

The sad thing with the video regarded to in the OP, is that when it was streamed to over 700 people, not a single one informed the authorities.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

We haven't moved that far from the Roman Circus.
