It took more than a day before Facebook removed those few minutes of video.. PIctured is Jiranuch Trirat, the mother of 11-month-old daughter who was killed by her father who broadcast the murder on Facebook.

PHUKET: A relative of the Thai baby whose murder was shown on Facebook Live earlier this week said he was too distraught and intent on getting police to the crime scene to worry about getting the horrific videos taken down. 

The gruesome incident this week highlights how those most affected by offensive content are usually too distracted to report it to the authorities. It also exposes the challenges that live streaming content poses to both governments monitoring for offensive material on the Internet and the companies that host online content.
