The company, which also owns Instagram, "quickly removed" his accounts on both sites as well as the video, she said. On Friday, Garlick said in a statement on Twitter that police alerted the organization to the video shortly after the livestream started. This is an issue that goes well beyond New Zealand but it doesn't mean we can't play an active role in seeing it resolved."Īrdern also stated she had spoken to Sheryl Sandberg, the chief operating officer of Facebook, about the incident.

The decision was motivated by "respect for the people affected by this tragedy and the concerns of local authorities," she said. She said the organization was continuing to "work around the clock to remove violating content using a combination of technology and people."įacebook would also remove edited versions of the video "that do not show graphic content," Garlick said. Mia Garlick, head of communications and policy at Facebook in Australia and New Zealand, said on Sunday in a statement on Twitter: "In the first 24 hours we removed 1.5 million videos of the attack globally, of which over 1.2 million were blocked at upload."
