Facebook implements 1-strike policy to prevent abuse of live-streaming feature.

If as user violates certain policies like sharing a statement of a terror group without appropriate context, the post gets deleted and the account restricted from going live.https://t.co/qt5Bkx94ys

Restrictions on live streaming for people that violate policies not a bad idea, but still easy for a terrorist to have a backup account that they drop the link into 4Chan just before they go live. https://t.co/cpUntd85rk

Two months after the New Zealand massacre, FB is adding a policy that bans people from using Facebook Live when they break some rules. It says it would have applied to the shooter. https://t.co/XwHTWKr6Hk

NEW: White House will NOT sign Christchurch call to action, an international pact to stop extremism on social media, amid free speech concerns. https://t.co/tZvOhVIZJs

— Tony Romm (@TonyRomm) May 15, 2019

It's laughable that a WH that often characterizes the free press as the "enemy of the people" is suddenly concerned with free speech.

Let's call this what it is: @realDonaldTrump once again actively choosing to NOT show leadership in combatting extremism. https://t.co/PdfPX8pU36

America refusing to sign the Christchurch Call to Action, a document authored by France and New Zealand (and being signed by the UK/Canada/Australia) calling for governments and big tech to stop the spread of harmful content.

Ceding moral leadership to appease white supremacy. https://t.co/VYxGxkq09t

In choosing not to stand against extremist speech, WH says with a straight face: “We maintain that the best tool to defeat terrorist speech is productive speech”

The “free speech” concerns have always been a load of bullshit. These are businesses making billions off of death threats, unfettered racism and streamed real world violence.

What a fucking terrible statement to the world. https://t.co/kbAWeDjC2C

That the U.S. is a no-show to the Christchurch Call indicates a shocking lack of concern about the harms perpetuated by the internet, including terrorism. This reinforces the divide between us and the rest of the world.
