A police officer patrols at a cordon near a mosque in central Christchurch, New Zealand on March 15, 2019. The man authorities believe carried out the Christchurch mosque attacks is due to make his second court appearance via video link on Friday, April 5, 2019.
The gunman broadcasted his attack live on Facebook and it was widely shared for over an hour before being removed, a time frame Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison described as unacceptable.Australian Brenton Tarrant, 28, a suspected white supremacist, has been charged with one murder following the attack and was remanded without a plea. He is due back in court on April 5, when police said he was likely to face more charges.
“We are committed to leading the way in developing new technologies and standards for identifying and removing terrorist content.”A spokeswoman for Facebook was not immediately able for comment. Australia’s opposition Labor party backed the legislation, but said it will consult with the technology industry over possible amendments if it wins power at an election due in May.
Social media companies keep shrugging the shoulders when it comes to sharing responsible use. The impact of even a personal response goes global. Such steps are welcome.
A good start.
