Facebook is facing serious backlash for posting and dissemination
of hate-filled videos of the NZ massacre. As per the statistics are given by
Facebook, the live streaming of NZ terror attack got 4000 views before it was
taken down by the social media platform. However, this video was still
circulated after being taken down which has created great controversy.
Investors have expressed their concerns over the situation
and they are not trusting the company in terms of content and policies anymore.
Facebook tried to clear the air by mentioning that in the 24 hours of the
incident, it shunned 1.2 million uploads of the massacre video.
“Hedge funds who were previously complacent about the recent
negative headlines are raising eyebrows on the news overnight and the departure
of two top executives also were “concerning -- especially given that the
conflict was over strategy.” Lynx Equity Strategies analyst Jahanara Nissar mentioned in her note.
World leaders are urging social media platforms to have
transparent policies in order to avoid such situations in the future. This is
need of the hour and in order to bring peace and stability to the society,
proper policies must be designed.
