Can Facebook stifle human perversion to broadcast horror?






Facebook vows to contain horrifying human behavior on its enormous social media network by hiring 3,000 people to screen what’s happening. It is as much public relations as anything else but we hope it works. These live-as-they-happen perversions are sadly more about the human race and Internet than Facebook. Next, a very funny piece by CNN’s Jeannie Moos on how the “The Donald” keeps talking about himself in the third person. It’s the ego, say psychiatrists. Under that, just be glad you don’t live in Venezuela where the left-over “big-man” politics of the late Hugo Chavez seems set to put an end to democracy for good. And in the UK, Prince Phillip will stand down from dashing about to public events as he approaches his 96th birthday.
