I worked with a Construction Manager that had his PA print 3 copies of each received email.
Copy one was for him to handwrite notes and replies on,
copy two was for the PA to write notes on and
copy three was filed, just in case we need it later.
Spent hours explaining that his mailbox was backed up daily and there was no risk of losing data but he insisted of following this procedure.
He claimed that it was worthwhile near the end of the project when the company lawyers needed to go through all project correspondence to see what was discoverable for an upcoming mediation hearing but the lawyers preferred my solution of a box of DLT tapes with all data rather than 5 filing cabinets of paper.
Major broadcasters don't have this problem because they can dedicate a member of staff to monitor each stream being broadcast. They typically have a couple of seconds delay and can cut the feed if something unacceptable happens.
I agree that facebook should be held accountable but I can't see a realistic solution without killing the live streaming feature which is used by many users for legitimate purposes. Is it possible to have moderators watching all livestreams? How many livestreams are typically running on facebook at any one time, thousands, tens of thousands?
I really don't think that any other social network would be able to take over from Facebook without having the same issues as Facebook. Their business model is to provide your personal data to the highest bidder. How will any other network make money without charging the end user?
