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.

YouTube's human moderators couldn't stem the deluge of Christchurch massacre videos, so YouTube benched themYouTube's Chief Product Officer Neal Mohan said in the hours following the Christchurch attack, videos were popping up at a rate of one per second. GOOGLE had better get off its Ass and control what DOES get on youtube...unless they're Making Billions from advertisers for them!! Every platform claims they can't control the masses. So, stop letting *anyone* upload. It's your platform. It's not telling them they aren't free to speak, it's saying your platform is free to not listen. Oh wait, y'all don't want to. $ and instant gratification win.
