Facebook's social responsibility

The bodies of a San Bernardino, California man and his 9 month old son were found last week in an apparent murder-suicide. Yesterday, a tribute video and possible suicide note were uploaded to the man’s Facebook page by a third party. The page had several notes alluding to the tragic events, posted by the father weeks ago.




What responsibility does Facebook have in preventing these sort of tragedies from occurring? Should the site monitor its member’s content more closely, or is it up to the social community one operates within to do the monitoring of their supposed friends?
