LONDON - A gunman who killed 49 people at two New Zealand mosques live-streamed the attacks on Facebook for 17 minutes using an app designed for extreme sports enthusiasts, with copies still being shared on social media hours later.
But Reuters found videos of the shooting on all five platforms up to 10 hours after the attacks, which began at 1345 local time in the city of Christchurch. Twitter and Google said they were working to stop the footage being reshared. Facebook did not immediately respond to additional questions. “Extremists will always look for ways to utilise communications tools to spread hateful ideologies and violence,” she said. “Platforms can’t prevent that, but much more can be done by platforms to prevent such content from gaining a foothold and spreading.”The gunman filmed and shared the attacks using a mobile phone app called LIVE4, which allows users to broadcast directly to Facebook from personal body cameras, according to the app’s developer and a Reuters review of videos available online.
“The responsibility for content of the stream lies completely and solely on the person who initiated the stream.”
He is Not a gunman he Is A TERRORIST 👎
When a muslim commits crime its an act of terrorism but when christchurch commit act of terrorism its gunman. Dont play us. Call a spade a spade.NewZealandTerroristAttack
No Gunman...! They are TERRORIST
In New Zealand everyone from media to people to Prime Minister call him a Terrorist, the rest of the world can make up there own mind.
Muslims got a taste of their own medicine? Karma?
Unfortunately, the nation of New Zealand is not taken seriously. I was on facbook at the start of the murders. Heard of it. It did not emphasize religion. At the time it was five murdered. I thought just another murder in the world. And did not delve any deeper.
... So you can do it yourself? Please stop teaching and glamourising these acts. It inspires more Panchos to do the same.
Call him what he is. Terrorist.
He’s a scum and a terrorist , we don’t want to understand “how” he broadcast his killings, it’s disgusting , senseless and he’s the worst form of human to be in NZ, but i also wish that this had receives non-stop media coverage like in NZ so we all can come together against hate
How fucked up is this?
Natural born killers comes to life
Why The police did not come quickly?
Stop telling people it was on facebook live this will only end poorly
I saved a copy so later on when they say, '....I don't remember that', I can show a receipt. If a Jihadi had done this it would be a matter of public record but since a white guy did it and it screws up the Islamophobic narrative, nobody should say his name or show the video.

Facebook, YouTube and Twitter struggle to deal with New Zealand shooting videoHours after the New Zealand terrorist attack, copies of the gruesome video that appears to show the massacre continued to appear on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, raising new questions about the platforms' ability to manage harmful content Amen. There is news and truth, and then there is glorification of violence. This crosses the line. Publishing tactics survivors use to avoid death is helping terrorists. Any would be terrorist would discover the videos on their own persistent determination. It is critical for the general public to see the horrors of what actually happens during a shooting like that Sharing this video does nothing but put families through more torment and give the terrorist more fame. No reason for that

He attacked these people in a place of worship while they were praying. This is white nationalism. Please no more😢💔😢
