Facebook said it had deleted the gunman's accounts "shortly after the live stream commenced" after being alerted by police. In another case, the video was shared by a verified Instagram user in Indonesia with more than 1.6 million followers. Facebook, Twitter, Alphabet Inc and other social media companies have previously acknowledged the challenges they face policing content on their platforms.
