Facebook to adopt a 'one strike' policy for its live streaming feature over breaches of the company's most serious rules anywhere on its site
Facebook said in a statement it was introducing a"one-strike" policy for use of Facebook Live, temporarily restricting access for people who have faced disciplinary action for breaking the company's most serious rules anywhere on its site.
A self-confessed white supremacist killed 51 people at two mosques in Christchurch on March 15 while live streaming the attacks on Facebook. It was New Zealand's worst peacetime shooting and spurred calls for tech companies to do more to combat extremism on their services.
The company said it plans to extend the new restrictions to other areas over the coming weeks, beginning with preventing the same people from creating ads on Facebook.
