Facebook tightens live-stream rules in response to Christchurch massacre
Facebook is tightening restrictions on its live-streaming feature in the wake of the horrific mass shooting in Christchurch, New Zealand, as world leaders prepare to meet for a summit aimed at curbing online terror.
“Live can be abused and we want to take steps to limit that abuse,” Facebook said in a statement. The company said they plan to extend the restrictions over the coming weeks, including to the creation of ads, but did not lay out specific plans.
