Summary | Perverts have asked schoolgirls to expose themselves via live Periscope videos during lessons. While they were using the app, the girls received a lot of sexual comments. Periscope is an app that is also used by businesses and media organisations to stream events and conferences live. Viewers can then comment and ask questions live; those comments are displayed on screen and everyone can see them.

Summary | Facebook is facing many criticisms about its poor enforcement of basic standards of content on the platform. Multiple violent live streams have been uploaded to Facebook in the past in it always took Facebook too long to take them down. Their algorithm to weed out pornography has backfired when they censored a historic photograph of a napalm victim from the Vietnam War because it registered as child pornography. After much denial, Facebook are finally taking steps against fake news spreading on their platform. All this may be called censorship but without moderation there can be no free speech because bullies dominate the discourse.
