suicide or live on Facebook and rape Periscope
Widely used, this feature is not the only one on the market and Facebook comes a few months after Periscope application, popular, owned by Twitter, or Meerkat. The live video accessible to all from a smartphone usually gives to see scenes of everyday life, or records of events, special events.
But other uses, chilling emerge very quickly. As Oceane, a young woman of 19, which is directly committed suicide by throwing himself under a train on 10 May, the smartphone in hand, broadcasting the scene Periscope. On 30 March, three men, still on Periscope, raped a woman live in front of more than 2000 users, while the link was shared by users on Twitter.

with Facebook as with Periscope, the rules use prohibit users to broadcast live images of violence or incitement to violence. Contacted, Periscope held to highlight new comment moderation tools that appear in the video, revealed in early June, and declined to answer questions from the World on moderation methods.
at Facebook, we explain that moderation of content is not made a priori but a posteriori, on reporting of users, and there is no active surveillance video direct. The social network wants to make teaching and encourage its users to report as soon as possible the contents infringing the rules to the site’s moderation teams.
Inadequate law
under French law, the responsibility of the platforms that host the live video feed is very classic. If the authorities find objectionable content on Facebook, live or not, it will then notify the social network that is responsible and will be ordered to remove content “promptly”. The authorities can then ask the company to identify the user who broadcast content, as it does in many surveys. But this “delay” in the legislation, poses a problem for Eric Bonet, lawyer of the new technologies of law, “sometimes called a weekend.” “The system is designed for offline published content” he says, “Live with Periscope and Facebook, the time that is removed, the operation is often over.”
Direct also changes the role of “spectators”. Unlike a video posted after the filmed action, the “Live Stream” brings the user to a current situation. “Spectators must react and not just look” , Judge Eric Bonet, who believes that “may be cases of failure to assist a person in danger” for example in the case of a live filmed aggression. “But I do not know of previous published” , he nuance.
The lawyer argues that the law must evolve, “to force the hosts to seek stronger authentication “ to their users, such as a phone number for those who want to start a” live stream “. “Law Problems in the image may also arise” , said the lawyer, since any smartphone user can shoot and broadcast live on unwilling people in public space .
