After the New Zealand massacre was broadcast live on Facebook, it quickly went viral on various social media platforms.
Companies including Facebook, Twitter and YouTube scrambled to take it down, but once something goes viral on the social media, it's difficult to stop its spread. And that's been raising questions about live broadcasting on social media, and who should have access to it.
The alleged shooter seems to have first advertised the attack on the online forum "8chan," a message board known for right-wing extremist users.
He included a link to a Facebook account.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel Face Book has the ability to stop if they really want to make it happen.

How hard can it be? They pull politically incorrect material in a blink of an eye. I suspect that they are faking the difficulty to keep it available inasmuch as it can be used by Leftist propagandists
