The Facebook live video of the aftermath of the police shooting of Philando Castile went down for a few hours shortly after it reached more than 1 million viewers. Even before Reynolds's video, Facebook was grappling with where to draw the line. After the Chicago video, Facebook expanded the team that reviews live content, although it did not say how many people are now part of the team. According to a recent Pew Research survey, two-thirds of American Facebook users say they use the site to get news. "We do understand and recognize that there are unique challenges when it comes to content and safety for Live videos," Facebook said in the statement Thursday to The Post.
