What positives?
Yeah sorry I could have worded that a lot better.Positives of stuff like live streaming. Not my personal cup of tea but it's a good thing when used correctly IMO.

I've watched some pretty grim stuff on the internet and fairly desensitised but this is something that even i would turn off.
Exactly, i usually seek out the video in question just to see what the fuss is about but this steps over the line of what is watchable, especially as a dad of 2. Sickening even to think about it.dazwalsh said:

Sickening even to think about it.There is an odd ghoulish draw to awful videos, yet there is something much darker to the recent live streamed stuff.
A while ago there was a CCTV video of a guy in China. He had severe mental issues and he was walking down the street when he suddenly flips out and starts attacking a toddler. I mean really really violent towards the child who appears to be nothing to do with him. The child is at best unconscious, at worst, well.....
I reported it via Facebooks link.
This was the reply (ive gone back and checked)
The Poster is still active, and lists "Project Manager at Facebook" based in Saudi (allegedly)

The choice is down to you to ignore it or not.
That is as foolish as saying "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear"!I have managed to avoid looking at nasty videos such as this for years.
Are you worried that you can't control the urge to watch these things. If you can't, I would suggest you have a problem.
The main concern I would have is that children might see such stuff and I admit that is a problem. How it can be solved is anybody's guess because even if a video platform website eventually stamps down on these types of videos, another one will start up somewhere else.
And even conscientious video platform sites (if there are any) struggle to keep up and monitor the thousands of videos that are uploaded every day.
As I said, the genie is out of the bottle on this one and it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to stop it.
