The New Zealand government flagged the clips as harmful and that's why they were taken down from the site.
The government was made aware of the video after it was uploaded to the social network. The company's automated software for detecting harmful content failed to flag clips after they were re-uploaded. The company of the clips was notified by the government and was told that they would do a sweep for other instances.
The spokesman for the company told The Guardian that "time will tell" if it will live up to its promises. The company had to deal with moderation setbacks after CEO Musk laid off half of the workforce.
The video clips from the mosque killings in New Zealand were live-streamed on multiple media platforms. The clips have become popular among white supremacists.
There is an agreement between governments and online service providers to cooperate in eliminating harmful content and violent Extremism online. According to Ardern, the responsibility for deletion and monitoring of content on the social networking site rests with the membership of the call. The US did not want to join.
On a day-to-day basis, we will continue to expect that they do everything they can on a day-to-day basis to remove that content but also to reduce terrorist content and violent Extremist content online, as they have committed to," she said.
The communications department is no longer a part of the company.
Online safety experts called Musk's metrics into question after he posted that hate speech on the platform has decreased by one third since October. She doesn't expect the company to defer from the agreement with the call center.
