Activists call for Facebook 'censorship' change after Korryn Gaines death

Activists ask Mark Zuckerberg in open letter to alter dealings with police after Facebook Live video stream of woman's confrontation with police was cut off

A consortium of activist groups has sent an open letter to Mark Zuckerberg asking him to implement an "anti-censorship policy" at Facebook in its dealings with law enforcement officials in the wake of the death of Baltimore woman Korryn Gaines.

Gaines, killed just after her Facebook Live video stream of her confrontation with police officers was turned off, was being served an arrest warrant after failing to appear in court for a traffic violation. She was shot dead by police and her five-year-old son, whom she was holding at the time, was wounded.
