Yesterday’s horrific shooting in New Zealand at two different mosques that left 49 people dead was live streamed on Facebook:
Facebook said it quickly removed videos of a gunman opening fire inside a New Zealand mosque on Friday who appeared to have live-streamed his attack in a 17-minute video that looked to be recorded on a helmet camera.
Seventeen minutes. Seventeen long minutes of brutal killings being shared on the world’s largest platform for communication. Facebook is claiming that they took it down as soon as they found out it was going on:
‘New Zealand Police alerted us to a video on Facebook shortly after the livestream commenced, and we quickly removed both the shooter’s Facebook and Instagram accounts and the video,’ Ms Garlick added.
Yet it was up for 17 minutes. We’ve had MULTIPLE Facebook Live shows taken down within 5-10 minutes despite the fact that we never violated their terms of service, and more importantly we weren’t using their platform to live stream a massacre of innocent people.
Since those videos have all been pulled there’s no way for us to prove to you right now that we got pulled quicker than them. However, in January Uncle Turtleboy was doing a live stream on Facebook that he was simultaneously recording to SoundCloud. The topic – the dangers of censorship. And ironically the show was taken down by Facebook at the 16 minute mark. Listen for yourself:
Facebook is willing and able to censor us faster than they are a guy who is using their platform to broadcast the killing of innocent people. They claim to have developed the technology that can artificially pick up on shootings like this after Virginia reporter Alison Ward was killed on Facebook Live in 2017.
The Facebook Live massacre was preemptively scheduled on 8chan with simple metadata manipulation — and this is exactly the thing Facebook has been working towards preventing since 2017. It wasn't flagged, and algorithms didn't pick up the auditory gunshots and visual violence. pic.twitter.com/nE2WDd76VL

It was incredibly easy for them to shut the New Zealand shooting down within a couple of minutes, they had the ability to do so, yet they let it go on for 17 minutes. It’s arguable that the shooter would not have even done this had the liver stream option not been available. Facebook lets this go on but shuts us down for discussing censorship. These are their values.
As for the shooting itself I will join the growing number of publishers who will not state this cretins name. I’ve seen his manifesto. It’s 70 pages of name dropping with the clear intention of provoking partisanship in the United States.
From the manifesto. Kind of a depressing thought that he’s probably going to get his wish and cause a lot more polarization. pic.twitter.com/qqv7H6y4mG

The shooter explained exactly what racial, cultural, and political pressure points he hoped to exploit in order to bring about a civil war.
Read, understand, and stop doing what he wants (like blaming @pewdiepie & @RealCandaceO). https://t.co/NoWFGDL4R0

And of course the left is falling for it, blaming Trump, Candace Owens, and other people who dare to question the long term ramifications of mass migration and religious extremism. But none of them are blaming Facebook for giving him the tools to do this or for allowing it to go on for 17 minutes.

Hello Turtle Riders. As you know if you follow Turtleboy we are constantly getting censored and banned by Facebook for what are clearly not violations of their terms of service. Twitter has done the same, and trolls mass reported our blog to Google AdSense thousands of times, leading to demonitization. We can get by and survive, but we could really use your help.

Facebook already has you on their radar, they didn’t have this random nobody. You know, instead of liberal vs. conservative it could be as simple as that. Your shit gets reported all the time so they are watching you closely.
So what, shut down the Facebook Live service? How many people are going on massacres and streaming it on Facebook Live, not a whole lot.. this is not some epidemic, just some crazy weaselly fuck who decided life was too mundane in which jerking off to video games and trolling internet boards was no longer enough for him.
It’s going to sound ugly, but if some fuck-wit wants to go on a massacre and stream it live, that’s more evidence against the son of a bitch…unless you secretly enjoy watching these types of videos and you can’t prevent yourself from not watching them, that becomes your own personal dilemma you’ll need to get over. I know a lot of trolls like sharing this type of shit on Facebook and Twitter for a reaction to justify their meaningless shit existence, but you do have the option to block and not follow them.
Pakistan is more dangerous than NZ. The Muslims picked their poison. Inshallah.
Another anti Facebook post that concludes with a personalize with Facebook ad. Your balls ache from straddling the fence?
Divide and conquer
Facebook is the worst. I pray for the day Zuckerberg goes to jail. They need to be held accountable. They suck
you can probably still find it on liveleak. that part where he blew the chick in the gutters brains out then drove over here, ooo brutal.
FEAR THE TURTLE!
full vid still on theync
As soon as I watched the full video I REALLY wanted to buy a TurtleBoy hoodie!
Live: New Zealand PM gives news briefing on Christchurch mosque terror attacks
Way to go TURTLEBOY.. 49 peolple get slaughtered and broadcasted live and you try and make it about you. What a whiney BITCH you are, you yourself are a ratchet journalist, fucking scrubs.
I actually have zero fucks to give on the whole incident.
Hopefully for Turtle Boy’s sake the local area dregs of society won’t ever wake up and realize that without their photos and stupid posts on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter this website’s content would probably drop by 50%
Only the crazy media could find a way to blame Trump. Are they going to blame Trump for the rockets in Israel too?
No, they’ll blame Trump for Israel retaliating after they were fired upon.
The whole manifesto was a troll job. The video footage was an interesting thing to watch.
Did y’all miss out on OAC blaming the NRA for NZ gun crime. Amazing. She does mad drugs. Just wait until it’s her turn to filibuster.
Like Wells Like Fargo like totally financed da bombs like you know. I goes to Pelosi like we gotta do something radical to dese guys totally.
leave it to TB to make the slaughter of 49 innocent people all about how tough his life is.
You have the deductive skills of a toddler, Randall. I read it as the bias facebook shows between liberals and conservatives. I guess that’s why you’re the group imbecile, you fucking asshole.
Psycho thing to do . Hopefully asshole will rot in hell. But if the welfare seekers just stayed in Bangladesh no white people would have been able to know where Bangladesh was to come and shoot them,
Twitter locked my account for reposting the shooting.
Per Twitter: “Specifically for:
Violating our rules against posting media depicting the moment of death of an individual(s).
You may not post content of deceased individuals or moments in which they die with the intent to abuse, or if the media is excessively gorey. We will remove this type of media out of respect for the deceased and individuals directly impacted, and to reduce unintended exposure to highly graphic media.”
YouTube also pulled my video.
Per YouTube: “As you may know, our Community Guidelines describe which content we allow – and don’t allow – on YouTube. Your video POV New Zealand Mosque Shooting was flagged to us for review. Upon review, we’ve determined that it violates our guidelines and we’ve removed it from YouTube.”
shooter is a “right wing” extremist “inspired by Trump” thus it fits their narrative hence the live stream is allowed until the narrative is sufficiently put forward. once it has outlived its usefulness, they take it down.
you either didn’t read the manifesto that specifically says he is NOT right wing or when he says he does NOT support Trump or you are a $3.50 share blue troll.
fuck you and your troll efforts
