L'ultime selfie: l'horreur de Roanake est la nouvelle norme?

Un homme enragé, le recours à une arme et la diffusion de scènes horribles à l'aide des médias sociaux. Cet article du Washington Post revient sur les incidents de ce matin en insistant sur ces tueurs en mal de publicité.

 "Social media didn’t cause this crime. Nor is this the first case of a murderer seeking infamy. There is a stripe of killer who wants publicity. These people often leverage whatever technology is at their disposal.

That technology has become radically democratized in just the last few years. More than a billion people are on Facebook. We essentially have our own broadcast outlets now. And the Roanoke murders were perpetrated by a man who had worked in the news business and knew how to reach an audience.

There are fewer filters — or none at all. If you set your Twitter account on “autoplay” then the murder video will play automatically without need for a click. People possessed by hate, homicidal impulses or the desire to terrorize the public are getting better at exploiting the power of social media."
