A half-a-trillion market cap company can and should do a lot more staff. If you don't have staff, don't launch the service.

It should absolutely block live streaming of suicides and murders—if you don't, you will inspire a lot of copycats. That's not "censorship"

It should also not allow live videos of abuse of animals/people. Also, it already censors! Took years to get them to allow breastfeeding.
