Tragic event Bianca Devins

“We are taking every measure to remove this content from our platforms,” a spokesman for Facebook, which owns Instagram, said.
“Our goal is to take action as soon as possible – there is always room for improvement.
‘Incriminating statements’
Ms. Devin’s family paid tribute to her, describing her as “a talented artist, a loving sister, daughter, and cousin, and a wonderful young girl”.
Utica police said it appeared the pair had met on Instagram two months ago.
They had concert together the previous evening and had argued on their way back.

On that occasion, the killer streamed live video on Facebook for 17 minutes as he fired at men, women and children at two mosques.
Facebook was criticized then for failing to remove all traces of the footage in the immediate aftermath.
It said it had removed 1.2 million copies of the video within 24 hours and blocked a further 300,000. But still clips are there.
However, tragedies such as this suggest that there is still a long way to go. And the patience of both their own users and global authorities is wearing thin.
