In the first 24 hours after the deadly mass shooting in New Zealand, Facebook says that it has removed 1.5 million videos that were uploaded of the attack, of which 1.2 million “at upload.”
The company made the announcement in a Tweet, following up on a prior announcement that it had been alerted by authorities and removed the alleged shooter’s Facebook and Instagram accounts. Facebook spokeswoman Mia Garlick says that the company is also “removing all edited versions of the video that do not show graphic content.”

So, where can we go to see it. Has to be somewhere....
I was suspended from all actions on Facebook for posting the video on my page (for one week, they said). The viewing of this video should be the reader’s choice and not Facebook’s. Facebook is making it so that they ‘homogenize’ all comment on their site to fit their Marxist/Leftist views ... but we all knew that ... right?
I wouldn’t have cared if Facebook were not playing God.

I got it on a bitTorrent site by way of Pirate Bay ... but it’s also available at several other places, too ... one of them here ...
It’s over on the top right side ... it worked last night, so I presume it’s working now.
Good. The fast way to spread it is to ban it.
Nope. Not on Live Leak.
Yes, it is you have to search for it.
Here’s what LiveLeak says ...
Christchurch Shooting Video
We’ve received no small number of complaints regarding the fact we will not carry the video filmed by the psychopath who murdered 49 innocent people in New Zealand, streaming the event live on Facebook. As a result we decided we’d put out a statement explaining why we have taken this stance.
Previously we have risked the ire of viewers by refusing to show the glossy promo videos for ISIS. The ones shot on DSLR’s, with depth of field, careful framing, and murders stage managed for the camera. Whilst we may carry media showing the most terrible of events we don’t want to be a vehicle of choice for those who carry these events out. This is a very important distinction for us.
The Christchurch shooter wasn’t just some random “nutcase”. He planned not just the murders but also the chaos he would sow with his manifesto which reads like the fevered dream of a fully fledged “shitposter”. Currently, judging by media coverage and reactions online, he’s getting almost exactly what he wanted. We don’t intend to indulge him further.
We’ve never had a “show everything” policy and we’ll continue to review certain items on a case by case basis. We fully understand some people will be very unhappy with this decision but, as with previous decisions, we will stand by it all the same.
We hope you can understand our position on this even if you disagree. We aren’t campaigning to prevent other sites carrying the video, we aren’t suggesting nobody should be allowed to view it should they choose to, but we are saying we don’t want it on our platform and we will continue to remove it whenever it is discovered.
Liveleak is refusing to show it.

The various ‘states’ around the world are getting ‘practice’ right now at how to effectively ban material on the Internet from the mass of people. They know a few will get stuff they ban, but they want to design effective mechanisms to control all the information that ‘the state’ deems is ‘okay’ to distribute.
This is just another practice run for them. So I make it a practice run for getting around their blocking ... LOL ...
ok, it’s not there now. But they carried it Friday or Saturday
crazys
oops. that’s where I saw it. not live leak.
I saw the entire video on Citizens Free Press. Video is now down there too. One thing I noticed is that there were bodies laying everywhere but I didn’t see one drop of blood or any blood streams. Also no bullet holes in the walls. When the shooter makes his way back outside on the sidewalk,there is a Muslim woman laying in the gutter crying for help,he points the gun at her takes a shot and it looks like a piece of her skull went flying down the road.
How about we have those that looked at it removed? No? To harsh?
Strange how the Daniel Pearl video was so easy to get and FB, Youtube, etc didn’t even exist yet.
