Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg on Tuesday vowed to work to keep the world\u2019s leading social network from being used to propagate grisly acts like the murder of an elderly man on Easter Sunday.<\/p>\n
Zuckerberg\u2019s comment came during the opening of Facebook\u2019s annual developers conference in the heart of Silicon Valley, where he focused on technology tools intended to promote stronger communities.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are going to work on building common ground, not just getting more opinions out there,\u201d Zuckerberg said.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur hearts go out to the family and friends of Robert Godwin, Sr.. We will keep doing all we can to prevent tragedies like this from happening.\u201d<\/p>\n
He conceded that Facebook has \u201ca lot of work\u201d to do.<\/p>\n
The US man wanted for killing Godwin in Ohio and then posting a video of the murder on Facebook fatally shot himself Tuesday after a brief pursuit in neighboring Pennsylvania, police said.<\/p>\n
Steve Stephens, 37, had been the subject of a nationwide manhunt in the wake of Sunday\u2019s killing in Cleveland.<\/p>\n
The incident was the latest grisly crime posted on Facebook, reviving questions about videos posted on the world\u2019s largest social network, and how \u2014 or if \u2014 they can be monitored. The footage was later taken down.<\/p>\n
