Fakamalo Kihe Eiki and his wife headed to the hospital to give birth to their son right after her water broke. And, as many fathers before him, around the world, have done, Eiki brought a camera with him. What makes their story unique is that the camera was on his smartphone, and that he livestreamed the video of the birth on Facebook.

Curiously, while the BBC’s Benjamin Zand told his 14,000 followers on Twitter that “Someone just live-streamed a baby being born… This is where 25 years of the World Wide Web has taken us,” that tweet has been removed. Fortunately, in their coverage of this story, Fusion.net preserved it.

Still, far more people had favourable responses, and congratulations for the couple.
