This week, negative sentiment towards Facebook rose to the highest in almost eight months on rival social network Twitter, as the company raced to fix a worldwide outage and faced reports of a grand jury investigation. Ms Mia Garlick, of Facebook in New Zealand, said: "We will continue working directly with New Zealand Police as their response and investigation continues." "We're also removing any praise or support for the crime and the shooter or shooters as soon as we're aware." "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," Facebook said on its Twitter account. "Our hearts are broken over today's terrible tragedy in New Zealand," YouTube, which is operated by Google, said in a Twitter posting.įacebook acted swiftly to contain the fallout. In response, YouTube said it is "working vigilantly to remove any violent footage". In Christchurch, just before the alleged gunman opened fire, he urged viewers to subscribe to the popular YouTube channel PewDiePie, which itself has been criticised for posting offensive footage in the past.
