Facebook Live: Zuckerberg adds 3,000 moderators in wake of murders

Following outrage over broadcasting of killings and assaults, Facebook chief says social network will invest in people and tools to remove content more quickly

Facebook's chief executive Mark Zuckerberg has pledged to add 3,000 more content reviewers and invest in tools to help remove objectionable content more quickly, after a man broadcasted footage of himself killing his 11-month-old daughter.

Over the last few months, footage of shootings, murders, rapes and assaults has been streamed on Facebook. The live broadcasts have then been viewable as recorded videos by the social network's users, often for days before being taken down.
