Live streams are becoming increasingly popular. They re allowing us to see situations we may not have seen before and provide vital evidence. (Eric Garner, Philando Castile) We are seeing more death as a result of the live streaming advancements. The concept of an 'edited experience' is being undermined. No one knows where the responsibility stands to monitor these.
O in 2016 Philando Castile was recorded being shot by a police officer.
Although live streaming capabilities has its benefits, such as showing the truth and making people aware of what is going on in the world around them. We are now being exposes to a lot of violence an propaganda, particularly the youth. Even though sites have age restrictions it is pretty easy to fake an age to gain access to the site and its content. To an extent live shows are extremely harmful, they need to be restricted and regulated. But they are immediate and there are hundreds of thousands if not millions of broadcasts every day. It would be almost impossible to regulate every single one the is broadcasted.
