That's a good point, and I don't like the way they glossed over the live TV broadcast in the article. I think their angle is that the prevalence of auto-play and easy sharing make it difficult to stop a graphic story from spreading. I don't agree with that angle because I don't think social media networks should play nanny goat over what content can be shared and what stories go viral. But I do think that better tools should be made available on these networks for sharing NSFW content. Voat does it, and Facebook/Twitter should accept the fact that NSFW content is going to be shared regardless.
