“Our hearts go out to the victims, their families and the community affected by the horrendous shootings in 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. We're also removing any praise or support for the crime and the shooter or shooters as soon as we’re aware.
We will continue working directly with New Zealand Police as their response and investigation continues.” — Mia Garlick, Facebook New Zealand

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...
Out of respect for the people affected by this tragedy and the concerns of local authorities, we're also removing all edited versions of the video that do not show graphic content." — Mia Garlick, Facebook New Zealand
