Don’t do this. We know how to cover terrible news like this, without doing it on the killer’s terms. Don’t participate in the snuff film he directed: instead give us the crucial news coverage we need.https://twitter.com/BarristerSecret/status/1106493702460055557 …

And stop analyzing that manifesto as if it were a straight text. It’s bait and lulz via mass murder.https://twitter.com/kenyatta/status/1106562027219308544 …

This is significant. There isn't much fake videos or hoaxes out there of the NZ terrorist attack because the mass-murderer had a multi-platform release strategy. Fakery and hoaxes thrive in the voids and the killer very deliberately did not leave a void. https://twitter.com/CraigSilverman/status/1106584346318774272 …pic.twitter.com/ok52s89xOC

This killer had a well-developed media strategy. Don't plaster his words, manifesto, face out there. He's using media gullibility as a form of SEO for murderous hate—it's on mass media and tech platforms, first, and ordinary people, also, to realize what's happening and say no.

Thread. If the shooting had a Beyonce soundtrack or an Olympics clip, it might have disappeared more quickly. It’s a matter of priorities and resources. It’s not that tech platforms aren’t perfect but that this doesn’t even look like a proportional effort. https://twitter.com/alexhern/status/1106537169412337664 …

Adding one more article of mine from 2017 on ISIS. I concluded "Terrorism is mass murder with a media strategy; it’s long past time to disrupt it." This applies to NZ: using virality and mass media insticts to recruit. It *is* long past time to disrupt it. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/zeyneptufekci/dont-let-isis-shape-the-news …pic.twitter.com/lHeLkaCXF2

Thought experiment: if the YouTube shooter had live-streamed her murder spree inside YouTube headquarters, can you imagine YouTube hesitating to take extreme measures like this?

It would take 575 years for a human to vet the amount of video uploaded to YouTube in a week's time. On the meantime, thousands of individuals who make their living off YouTube videos would lose their livelihoods.

And there's no way they didn't already turn on ContentID detection for this, but like any automated system, it's not 100%

I’d go further and suggest a 2 hour blackout on all new content from untrusted sources (I.e. those who have propagated hate in the past etc). That way YouTube could act proactively as soon as news broke of mass slaughter and keep videos of same off the platform in the 1st place.

And yes don’t call it a manifesto, don’t use his name, and immediately wipe any trace of him off social media (after securely archiving it for prosecution of course). There is a company advertising on NPR that offers just this service.
