The social media giant released new details about its response to the video in a blog post. It said the gunman's live 17-minute broadcast was viewed fewer than 200 times and the first user report didn't come in until 12 minutes after it ended. Fifty people were killed at two mosques in Christchurch.
Facebook has previously said that in the first 24 hours after the massacre, it removed 1.5 million videos of the attacks, "of which over 1.2 million were blocked at upload," implying 300,000 copies successfully made it on to the site before being taken down. Facebook uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to detect objectionable material, while at the same time relying on the public to flag up content that violates its standards. Those reports are then sent to human reviewers who decide what action to take, the company said in a video in November , which also outlined how it uses "computer vision" to detect 97 per cent of graphic violence before anyone reports it.
In another indication of the video's spread by those intent on sharing it, the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism, a group of global internet companies led by Facebook, YouTube, Microsoft and Twitter, said it added more than 800 different versions to a shared database used to block violent terrorist images and videos.
I call BS! Facebook has been repeatedly told, messaged, etc about the YELLOW VEST CANADA PAGE which is full of terrorist rhetoric, racism and vile & disturbing content and they have done absolutely nothing!
mark zuckerbag need to do some thing on this its not right FACEBROOK!!!
If nobody flagged the video, how could they have been expected to take it down while it was streaming?
What a shame!
