Facebook officials will attend Paris summit to combat spread of terror online following Christchurch attacks.
Representatives from Facebook will be among the social media executives attending a summit next month to combat the spread of terrorist material online in the wake of the Christchurch attack in New Zealand.
Facebook was drawn further into the controversy when company representatives didn't comment on the case until two weeks after the attack. In a letter to the New Zealand Herald, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg said the company was"committed to reviewing what happened," without outlining specific policies to counter similar activity in the future.
Facebook officials said they removed 1.5 million videos of the shooting in the 24 hours following the attack, 1.2 million of which were blocked while in the process of being uploaded.
