Facebook said it removed 1.5 million videos of the mosque attack in New Zealand in the first 24 hours after the original was posted.
In the hours after a shooting suspect in New Zealand broadcast his rampage of a mosque across social media, internet companies worked quickly to remove versions of the video that continued to pop up on their platforms.
YouTube removed tens of thousands of videos from its platform following the attacks and removed human review from its usual content moderation process in order to more quickly take down violent content related to the massacre, according to a spokesperson. The company also"terminated hundreds of accounts created to promote or glorify the shooter," the spokesperson said in a statement.
