Ambulance staff take a man from outside a mosque in central Christchurch, New Zealand on March 15, 2019.Get breaking news alerts and special reports. The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.YouTube and other social media sites are working to remove the video apparently recorded by the shooter who killed at least 49 people in a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, but they have not been able to keep up.
“New Zealand Police alerted us to a video on Facebook shortly after the livestream commenced and we quickly removed both the shooter’s Facebook and Instagram accounts and the video,” Mia Garlick, Facebook’s director of policy in Australia and New Zealand, said in an emailed statement. “We're also removing any praise or support for the crime and the shooter or shooters as soon as we’re aware.
A series of searches on YouTube conducted by NBC News on Friday morning based on keywords related to the shooting turned up more than a dozen versions of the video that included graphic violence uploaded in under an hour, according to details publicly available on the platform. Many links turned up pages where the video had been taken down with the message: “This video has been removed for violating YouTube's policy on violent or graphic content.
The spread of the videos, particularly on YouTube, drew criticism on social media from users who said the company was not taking down the videos quickly as well as concerns that pieces of the video could end up interspersed in other videos targeted at young people.
Oh I don't know. How about deleting the users who are spreading it too 🤔🤔🤔
You can't. No matter how hard you try, Once it's on internet. If it's not available in normal search engines, try private search engines. If it's not available through normal browsers, try private browsers, VPN's. I'm from India. It's already spread through various apps &channels
To many tweets nbc
Perhaps temporarily ban those who view the video? Bc you can't upload what you haven't viewed
Social media can be a beneficial source for information, but it can also lead to destructive behaviors. In this case it’s even terroristic. mktg475
I don't know why public blame internet, Facebook, we see it every day on YouTube, television and you can buy movies and games with violence and murdering everyday, why so concerned, about the reality when we have Grand Theft Auto encouraging young people to murder & shot.
ShirleySharona2 Who would want to see this
I don’t know if it’s feasible.. but is it possible to hold those accountable that shared the video? Fines.. criminal charges? I don’t know.. just think those that spread hate need to have a consequence.
Why would anyone want to see innocent Muslim’s people being murdered? Imagine if your family member or friend were in that Mosque ? How would you feel knowing their deaths are being viewed as entertainment around the world? What has happened to decency, empathy, compassion?
That’s cause it spread by text , what’s app , email everything
Geez who would want to watch that? For what possible purpose? People think it's a video game or something
Here's a very good thread on that:
Should not have fed it after midnight.
