In wake of New Zealand mosque attacks, Facebook changes its livestream policy.
Facebook officials, who have admitted their systems failed to prevent the broadcast of the New Zealand mosque massacre on their platform, have announced a new policy for livestreaming.
The move was praised by cybersecurity experts who often critique social media platforms for lack of action regarding hate speech. "This particular video did not trigger our automatic detection systems," Rosen wrote in the days following the attacks. The video was then viewed about 4,000 times before being taken down. The video and images of the attack were disseminated across all major social media platforms, including Twitter and YouTube.
