I'm not sure I get the issue with jumping on Facebook.com and watching a video stream?

I do get that some don't want to create an account (personal details etc), but it'll be just like jumping on another video streaming service site and watching from there.

I'd also add that it'd be a tad naive to think that Facebook and other social media sites are the only web companies harvesting data from their users.

As I am blissfully and intentionally ignorant of Facebook I'm happy to read that I can watch the live stream. Thanks to StrappedUp and Nordwulf/Frank.

Why do people that use all this silly social media rubbish keep trying to say 'it's no different' etc... It is! Just accept that some of us don't want to be part of it

You're not part of it, it's just an online video you can watch without doing anything else. Maybe others don't want to be 'part' of all that silly Google/Youtube rubbish.

Why do do these anti social media people act like it is the end of the world when they don't even have to log on or be part of anything for just watching a video? :?

Well.. you may as well cancel your accounts on all forums including this one. This one even tracks you with Google Analytics. And not watch videos on Youtube either because it is all social media. ;)

What to do if you don't have a Youtube/Google account? Many people won't be able to watch it either. :?
Social media is a computer-based technology that facilitates the sharing of ideas and information and the building of virtual networks and communities. By design, social media is internet based and offers users easy electronic communication of personal information and other content, such as videos and photos.
But anyways... Is there really a need to live stream this event? Seems like it would be easier just to record the event and upload to a couple of places later. And quality will probably be better. I am flexible enough to watch anywhere the good people of CW make this available. :thumbup:

My reasons for not liking social media are nothing to do with this Frank, hence why I said that it was easier to agree to disagree. But, no, you had to try and carry it on and try and tell me what I should or shouldn't do, or maybe you were just trying to be clever. Whichever, I'll say it again, even though you don't seem to listen too good - easier to agree to disagree on this one

I was just making a bit of fun of this situation, don't get all worked up about it.

The only thing I was pointing out is that Facebook video is exactly the same as Youtube. Anyone can watch and you don't need an account. So demanding it shouldn't be on Facebook is a bit silly.

I can't remember anybody 'demanding' anything to be honest

Stand easy chaps.

Email to me from Olivia at CW

"After a chat here we have agreed to stream the panel talk with the founders on Youtube instead of Facebook Live. This has been scheduled on Youtube for 15:00 on Saturday, so if you are subscribed to CW you can set a reminder to tune in."

The link to the live stream will be: https://youtu.be/FBHVqY5ZwR0
