Great concept...

...but in periscopes case, not the best execution. I suspect its due to all the efforts to enable blocking, shadow locking and censorship of offensive content. The code that allows "Time outs" for such content causes glitches, halting, general bad performance of the broadcast platform as a matter of course, or by misuse by someone wishing to hack/attack the platform as a whole using the code that enables such blocking. It needs a thorough review, and some debugging. And less censorship. Pornography blocking is one thing, but word for word censorship is a problem. If a person is being offensive, the broadcaster should b the only one who can block them, they are after all broadcasting, and an offended person can just leave. Thats just my opinion, but you asked.???
