on what went on at Facebook in the aftermath of Shooty McShootFace
posting his “manifesto” rant and live-streaming his murderous rampage.

Note that it took Facebook about an hour to determine that the video
should be taken down. Was this too slow? Is there ever a time when
leaving footage of such carnage up can serve a constructive purpose?
Yes, surprisingly, there is.
