Facebook Live Violations: One Strike and You’re Out

The social network is partnering with 3 universities to better detect manipulated media

Chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg promised tighter restrictions on Facebook Live in late March, in reaction to the spreading of videos of the terrorist attack in Christchurch, New Zealand, earlier that month. The social network took steps to make good on that promise this week.

Vice president of integrity Guy Rosen said in a Newsroom post that the social network’s livestreaming feature will now operate under a one-strike policy, adding that the company is teaming up with three universities to study how to better identify media that is manipulated in order to avoid detection.
