The decision was taken before a summit against "online" extremism in Paris, called after the attacks on Christchurch's two mosques. The world's largest social network has announced a so-called "violation, a ban" policy for those who violate the new live broadcasting rules on Facebook. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern called this measure a "first good step". It will be Mrs. Ardern, who will chair the summit together with French President Emmanuel Macron. This summit aims to coordinate international efforts to stop the use of social media to organize or promote terrorism.
Political leaders from Europe, Canada and the Middle East will meet with senior representatives from companies such as Facebook, Google and Twitter, as expected to undertake joint actions to eliminate terrorist materials. In a statement, Facebook reports that anyone who distributes "violent content," such as a statement from a terrorist group without any reason or accompanying explanation, will be blocked from using the Facebook Live service for a certain 30- daily. Precisely this limitation, the company is expected to expand its scope to other platforms in the coming weeks, including advertisers.
Facebook has pledged $ 7.5 million to spend on a new search partnership that automatically captures banned content, as some users could have overcome existing identity systems by uploading "redacted" version of the Christchurch attacks to the social network.
