Everyone's mentioning the many tragic and gory videos they've seen on LiveLeak.
But how were they making money? Also, is it moral to make money out of people's anguish and human tragedy?
I also don't see any mention of why they are shutting down.
Additionally, shouldn't these things be in the realm of journalism? Or is this the new journalism? Shouldn't there be some kind of fact-checking against this?
In today's world where anybody can post videos which elicit responses (and the more responses the better), shouldn't there be some ombudsman?
They lived in a space where no advertiser would work with them, they don't have a 'paid content' feature. General population does not "hang out" on LiveLeak. You go there and then leave.
What is all this about "journalism"? What journal going to feature actual death videos?
