Facebook to tighten live stream access after New Zealand mosque attacks

The social network is also investing in improving software to quickly identify edited versions of violent video or images to prevent them from be shared or re-posted.

Facebook on Friday said it is tightening live video streaming rules in response to the service being used to broadcast deadly attacks on mosques in New Zealand.

The Christchurch attacks — carried out by a self-avowed white supremacist who opened fire on worshippers at two mosques — claimed 50 lives.
