Could we change the link to a better article, like https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/02/dad-who-live-str... ?
The article on thememo.com leaves out key information, such as the fact that ABC broadcast only 22 seconds of the 45 minute video.

> But most would understand why Kali Kanongataa didn’t want his child’s birth aired for all to see
But according to http://www.mamamia.com.au/live-streamed-birth-by-accident/ (linked from the ArsTechnica article):
> The Californian dad says he had only initially wanted his family in Tonga to be a part of the experience but once he realised [the video was publicly viewable] he decide to keep going.
> Kanongata'a said that "for a second” he hesitated before leaving it for all to see.
It's best to email hn@ycombinator.com with these requests because then we're sure to see it. I only saw this one randomly.
It gives a different view to the incident.
Edit: Recognized the mother, not the father.
> Someone from a past relationship had recognized Kanongataa on Facebook and reported to CPS that he had domestic violence allegations against him. Kanongataa denies those allegations.
