That number, however, doesn’t account for where else the video could have been seen throughout the vastness of the internet.
Facbook has confirmed that as many as 4,000 people saw the original post before it was taken down. Once the video was originally posted as a live stream it became impossible to contain how many times it would be seen on the web. The plan worked, and the video was uploaded as much as 1.5 million times onto Facebook itself.
The users involved went to different parts of the web-including Facebook-to upload the video wherever they could. The plan was to saturate the web with the video, uploading it as many times as possible in different places. Even after Facebook took it down, they couldn’t stop the video from being viewed in other facets at least 4000 times. Users tried to download and re-upload the video into areas of the web that would make it harder to take down. It took no time at all for people on the chatroom that had been following the information about the shooter to find the video and aggressively try to save it. The shooter had uploaded a link to the live stream video with a message about the attack on a chatroom called 8Chan. The first person to report the video came 29 minutes after the live stream began. Not ReportedĪccording to the social media company, no one reported the shooting during the live stream. Facebook has admitted that, although only around 200 people saw the event during its live stream, as many as 4,000 saw the video before it was taken down. The shooting, which left 50 people dead and counting, is one of the deadliest in the nation’s history. When the New Zealand shooter attacked a Christchurch mosque last week he live streamed the event on Facebook.
