A gunman ‘wearing military clothing’ opened fire in a New York supermarket and live streamed the incident over the weekend. At least 10 people died and three others were injured during what the authorities called a ‘racist attack’.
One Facebook post with footage from the attack had reportedly been viewed more than 1.8 million times during what the authorities called a ‘racist attack’.said it reacted swiftly by removing the stream within two minutes of the start of the violence on Saturday.
What followed was a domino effect of the video being re-recorded and shared hundreds of times across other platforms just hours after the shooting. Unlike YouTube, which requires users to verify their account and have at least 50 subscribers to stream from a mobile device, Twitch allows anyone with an account to start a live stream.in New Zealand, social platforms and countries joined an initiative called the Christchurch Call to Action to combat violent extremist content online.
But despite the system, Facebook posts that linked to the video generated more than 43,000 interactions, according to CrowdTangle, a web analytics tool, and some posts were up for more than nine hours.
