Facebook plans to significantly increase its staff in an effort to monitor content following a slew of violent videos being posted to the social networking website, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced Wednesday.

In the past year, multiple suicides and murders have been broadcast live to Facebook, most recently the murder of an 11-month old in Thailand. Two graphic videos were available for over 24-hours and received over 300,000 views combined. Zuckerberg says he is looking to speed up the process of ensuring such videos are censored from his platform.
