The change, first mooted by COO Sheryl Sandberg, follows the Christchurch mosque massacre being broadcast on Facebook Live.
Citing sources close to Facebook, the Australian newspaper said it will stop users from posting live videos if they have broken the company's community guidelines in the past.
The idea of punishing users who have previously broken rules was first floated in an open letter by Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg following the New Zealand attack, in which 50 people were shot dead when a gunman entered two mosques in the city of Christchurch. The suspect streamed the event on Facebook Live.
