WELLINGTON (IQNA) – Video of the Brenton Tarrant’s terrorist attack targeting a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, resurfaced on Twitter but the social media giant initially refused to remove it. Despite the video of Brenton Tarrant’s attack being illegal in New Zealand, a June 18 post with the video appeared in a Kiwi user’s “For You” feed. About half an hour after the Herald contacted Twitter, the video was removed. A spokeswoman for the Classification Office said it was illegal for anyone in New Zealand to view, possess or distribute the video - “including via social media platforms”. “The tweet has been removed and we have asked our Christchurch Call counterparts at Twitter to look into this matter.
