Sweden gang rape 'live-streamed on Facebook'
Summary
Three men part of a Swedish gang have been arrested after they broadcast the rape of a girl on a Facebook live closed group, according to Swedish tabloid, Aftonbladet. Regional Police have begun an investigation but one person who is said to have apparently seen the live stream said that they "first thought it was a poorly orchestrated joke". Police are reported to have been tipped off shortly after the attack which took place in an apartment in Uppsala.
Key Statistics
- 3 people been arrested
- 1 man is believed to be a 20 year old Afghan national
- The 2nd man also believed to be from Afghanistan is said to be aged 18
- The third man is said to be aged 24
- The individual who was attacked is believed to be in her thirties
My Opinion
At first glance, the answer to solve such issues reoccurring over Facebook's live stream service would probably be us wanting Facebook to tighten their controls over the service and stop such broadcasting taking place and I agree with this. However, the rate at which NDM is developing could make it difficult for Facebook to have sufficient security controls over all corners of their platform as with fake news something is always going to slip through the fingers of the controllers because there are so many ways to get in/start something big once somebody has entered undetected.
