Facebook to bar users from live streaming for violating norms

Social media giant Facebook will bar users from live streaming for a certain period of time in case they violate its norms for using the facility, a move that comes two months after Christchurch mosque attack.

The company – which has 2.38 billion monthly active users globally – said it is also investing $ 7.5 million in new research partnerships with academics from three universities to collaborate on improving image and video analysis technology. Facebook Vice President (Integrity) Guy Rosen, in a blogpost, said the company has been reviewing how to limit the use of its services for causing harm or spreading hate.
