Rori ████: "[E]arlier today a man in Bosnia live-streamed the murder of a woman on IG and claimed to have murdered at least two other people, after which he reportedly took his own life… it is possible Meta may be criticised for the length of time the live stream remained on the platform (approximately three hours). There is no evidence that automation detected the video prior to removal and operational teams do not believe it should have based on the footage."
"The man live-streamed himself shooting his ex-wife in the head, whilst a child could be heard screaming in the background, before he streamed a second video approximately three hours later in which he claimed to have killed at least two other people."
"The video of the user shooting the woman in the head was reported 1,071 times by users, and had 32K VPVs at the point it was removed 2 hours and 58 minutes after being posted… There is no evidence that automation detected the video prior to removal and operational teams do not believe automation should have identified it based on the footage."
Sayed Otaru: "Rocky's just confirmed that the FPS classifier was launched on IG in June. Our teams will work together to understand why we did not detect this… Amit, we agree that there are some significant Integrity risks on IG Live."
