Don’t be played. That thing isn’t written as a manifesto or to be analyzed. It’s to play media and to generate searches via terms its using. That’s the strategy—via mass murder. Don’t make it work. https://twitter.com/bostonjoan/status/1106419430085574657 …

It’s not censorship to refuse to act as publicity agent for a snuff film. People were murdered to get others to play that footage, to post that sick joke of a “manifesto”, to lead others to search terms. Editorial judgment isn’t censorship. Cover the news. https://twitter.com/jake_hanrahan/status/1106536372339392512 …

This would be the right move. At least give it a try. It would be good for YouTube. (Sorry draft got uploaded before).https://twitter.com/nicholasajohn/status/1106541329050419201 …

Nicholas John @NicholasAJohnWhat if@youtube said: 1) We are shutting down the ability to upload new videos to the site 2) We are comparing all videos uploaded in the last 10 hours (or whatever) with the NZ video and removing any copies 3) We will vet all new videos published to the site for the next weekShow this thread6 replies 33 retweets 149 likesShow this thread -

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.

Replying to @emilybell @bellingcat
I think that one is a very good guide for media except I'd black out a few things since public. I'm not against analyzing what's going on and that tries to help stop being played by the whole Candace Owens etc. bait. Seems like a necessary thing. Ideally wouldn't be necessary.

Also, bellingcat isn't CNN or NYT. They are an analysis site. That's not the core problem at all, I think.

No though the flat space of the Internet might make them so. I guess I mean that the norm they create with their reporting is a positive one, the norm perpetuated by say the Daily Mail is not....
