Friday 6th January 2017

Hello and welcome to We Are Social’s headline of the day on Friday, 6th January. Today’s headline, courtesy of The Guardian, is that Facebook has refused to explain why a live torture video wasn’t taken down for 30 minutes. Their failure to remove the video meant a brutal attack of a young man in Chicago was broadcast and watched by 16,000 people. Facebook did eventually take down the video, but not before it had been copied and widely shared on YouTube. Check back next week on Amazon Echo or your favourite podcast player, or
