Facebook Live's big moment raises even bigger questions
http://money.cnn.com/2016/07/08/media/facebook-live-violent-videos/
There are also deeper questions about what the access to
instant live-streaming means for both producers and consumers
of the videos. Fortune's Mathew Ingram, who writes frequently
about the impact of social media, said the rise of "ubiquitous
smartphone video and eyewitness journalism has made the world
seem like a much more chaotic and dangerous place than it used
to be." Ingram asked, "Is it better to live in this way
because at least we know more about what is going on around
us, and we get a tangible sense of the violent state of the
world? Or does it make things worse, and create more problems
for society than it solves?"
