Lauren Tomasi, a 9News correspondent, was reporting live when an officer behind her suddenly raised their firearm and fired a nonlethal round at close range.
Since I keep having to remove the video posts, here’s an actual article on it:
In an attempt to answer your question, there tends to be a lot of misinformation following events like this. Often footage doesn’t even need to be AI or altered, it can just be footage from other events that looks similar that’s posted in good faith by people trying to spread the news. I assure you some of the clips flying around at the moment are from the George Floyd protests, or even a sports hooligan riot, or from events that didn’t even occur in this country.
At least in theory (and theory is doing a lot of heavy lifting with my attempt at answering your question), a news publication has an obligation to in some way determine the veracity of what they’re publishing.
I mean, I watched live footage of the protests on Saturday night. This isn’t something that even happened weeks ago, and they’re taking down stuff that shows a direct source. It just gives more leeway to the media to determine what is and isn’t okay to show the public. I get the point their trying to make. But it seems really one sided to just make a blanket ban on videos.
One sided would be selectively allowing some videos and removing others. :) The fair answer would be to allow all or remove all, but then if we allowed all it would be top to bottom 1 hour YouTube videos on how Trump is secretly an alien robot from Neptune.
You’re perfectly within your right to remove videos that are clearly misinformation. Regardless, appreciate the engagement. I’m not trying to be argumentative. Just voicing my own frustration with the whole thing. It seems like we are sliding further and further into fascism and there’s no way out, and this is just one of the many straws in a rather insignificant pile compared to the shitstorm that is modern politics in the U.S.
“360 hours of new videos added every minute or 518,400 hours daily. And know that the average video is about 12 minutes long, approximately 2.6 million videos are uploaded each day.”

It’s cool, I know you’re not, but there are a LOT of trash videos out there and we just can’t review every one of them.
Hell, YOUTUBE can’t review every one of them. :)
Let’s see what the latest statistic is?
