The very intentional way this attack was executed, with a camera streaming live on Facebook - I want to choose my words carefully here - but are you saying it's like the perpetrator had thought about this like the producer of a spectacle? Was that the point in this case?

I don't need to see it to appreciate the human tragedy. I know almost 50 people have been killed. The murder was an instrument for this act of terrible publicity by mass murder. That video was made and indeed live streamed exactly so it would gather publicity and terrorize us. But for the ordinary public, there's not much information to be gained from watching the video. I understand why, of course, police investigators and detectives are going to watch the video. Does reading it tell us anything useful? And then what? Did you watch the video and if so, why? 'I'm not saying we shouldn't pay attention to this, this is a terrible act of terrorism that we should pay attention to,' she says. 'But I don't think we should do it on the killer's terms.' Marco Werman: We want to know what happened and answer the question, why would anyone go into a house of worship - mosques in this case - and kill innocent people? Do we watch the video? Should we repost it? Same goes for the so-called manifesto. Tufekci says people should not watch the video because it is what the suspect probably wanted. The World's Marco Werman spoke to Zeynep Tufekci, who studies the intersection of technology and society and the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.

Facebook said it had deleted the gunman's accounts 'shortly after the livestream commenced' after being alerted by police. The live footage of Friday's attacks, New Zealand's worst-ever mass shooting, was first posted to Facebook and has since been shared on Twitter, Alphabet Inc's YouTube and Facebook-owned Whatsapp and Instagram.įacebook, Twitter and YouTube all said they had taken steps to remove copies of the videos. A gunman who killed 49 people at two New Zealand mosques live-streamed the attacks on Facebook for 17 minutes using an app designed for extreme sports enthusiasts, with copies still being shared on social media hours later.
