Photo: ReutersFacebook has told New Zealand's Privacy Commissioner John Edwards it has not changed a thing about its livestreaming functions since the Christchurch terror attacks. Facebook has been heavily criticised for allowing the livestreaming and sharing of the Christchurch terror attack on its platform. About 1.3 million copies of the video were blocked from Facebook, but 300,000 copies were published and shared. Mr Edwards said Facebook has admitted it has not done anything that would prevent a similar livestream occurring and being shared. Founder Mark Zuckerberg has now asked governments and regulators to play a more active role in controlling what is published on the internet.
