http://www.wired.com/2015/08/virginia-shooting-instant-sharing/

        Both Williams' Facebook and Twitter accounts were
        immediately shut down, but by then, it was too late. The video
        had already weaved its way throughout the Internet and was being
        shared widely, and thanks to new features like video autoplay,
        the footage just started to roll in users' Twitter feeds. They
        might not have wanted to watch it, but they didn't have a
        choice.
