She described the conversations as “really positive”. “We all need to act, and that includes social media providers taking more responsibility for the content that is on their platforms … it’s critical that technology platforms like Facebook are not perverted as a tool for terrorism, and instead become part of a global solution to countering extremism.”Īrdern said she had already spoken to global tech company chief executives, including Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, and those of Twitter, Microsoft and Google.
I don’t think anyone would argue that the terrorist on the 15th of March had a right to livestream the murder of 50 people,” Ardern said on Wednesday. Sky New Zealand pulled Sky News Australia off its network on Saturday because the latter was broadcasting video clips from the shooter’s Facebook livestream.“We want to maintain the principles of a free, open and secure internet, but this isn’t about freedom of expression, this is about preventing violent extremism and terrorism online. The distressing footage of the Christchurch shootings were not only disseminated on social media. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has said she wants to discuss the issue of live streaming with Facebook. “So social media companies – which have played a role in this, albeit not through their intent – have something to answer for and need to act further to prevent this.” “That spread far, and then the video spread far and wide, and may never be successfully taken down,” Roose continued. “The perpetrator was highly reliant on social media – not only for inspiration – but also in the way that he’s used a GoPro cam to livestream the attack and, immediately prior to the attack, sent out his manifesto and stored it in a number of areas so that it couldn’t be quickly taken down,” said Dr Joshua Roose, a senior research fellow at the Australian Catholic University in Melbourne, in an interview with FRANCE 24. Images of the attack were also shared on WhatsApp and Instagram, two services owned by Facebook, as well as on Twitter and YouTube.
