“We have heard feedback that we must do more – and we agree,” Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg wrote to the New Zealand Herald amid worldwide outrage over the horrific footage taken from shooter Brenton Tarrant’s helmet camera at two mosques March 15.
“In the wake of the terror attack, we are taking three steps: strengthening the rules for using Facebook Live, taking further steps to address hate on our platforms, and supporting the New Zealand community.”
The NY Post reports Facebook found more than 900 versions of the video showing portions of the 17-minute broadcast, Sandberg revealed, after it previously claimed users did not report the video until 12 minutes after the livestreaming ended.
She said the company is weighing limiting access to Facebook Live for those who have violated its “community” standards and is working on how to respond faster when disturbing footage is aired.
