according to Jesse Jackson and officials in the Chicago area are calling on Facebook to drop its Live function for 30 days, in the wake of the murder of Cleveland grandfather Robert Godwin, whose shooting was broadcast on the social network. "The moratorium is ... an opportunity for tech companies, elected officials, law enforcement, community based organizations and civil rights advocates and others," Jackson said. Godwin murder suspect Steve Stephens had announced on Facebook that he was going to kill someone, then posted video of him shooting Godwin, 74, on the street. The moratorium would serve as "a time out" to help Facebook figure out how to prevent people from using it "as a platform to release their anger, their fears and their foolishness," Jackson told USA TODAY. All three stood in front of Facebook's Chicago offices on Friday to seek a meeting on the issue.

The request comes in the wake of 74-year-old Robert Goodwin Snr's death at the hands of Steve Stephens who uploaded the shooting onto Facebook Live. Jesse Jackson is calling for a 30 day shut down of Facebook's live streaming feature to give the company a chance to figure out a way to to remove disturbing video instantly from the site. While the Easter Sunday video of Stephens killing Goodwin–a father of 10 and grandfather of 14–was eventually removed, it took nearly two hours for Stephens' account to be disabled. The trio are asking for an immediate shut down of the feature also because Stephens used the tool to announce he killed several other people and would kill more. Boykin told Chicago's ABC7 the temporary shut down isn't a punishment but rather a chance for the social media giant to quickly disarm those using the tool to promote disturbing images.
Regina Dugan, vice president of engineering of Building 8 at Facebook, speaks on stage on Wednesday during the second day of the annual Facebook F8 developers conference in San Jose, California. In the past, Zuckerberg has said that he wants live video to support all the "raw and visceral" ways people communicate. The killer later used Facebook Live to boast about the shooting. Facebook released tools that allow any developer to create such features on a camera app, in live video, and in virtual reality. Users can now stream Facebook videos directly to their televisions, a new feature that hints at the company's ambitions in live TV.
