新奇事件簿 新西兰枪击案视频传播网络惹众怒

People all over the world are angry because the video of the massacre¹ at a mosque² in Christchurch, New Zealand is still on social media sites. On Friday, a terrorist gunned down and killed 50 worshippers who were praying at two mosques³. The gunman live-streamed a video of the shootings on Facebook. The video has spread across social media. Many people think social media companies have not done enough to take the video off their sites. As the video continued to spread, many social media users posted messages asking people to stop sharing it. One user said: "That is what the terrorist wanted." Another user said social media sites quickly take down music videos but not terror videos.

新西兰克赖斯特彻奇一清真寺内屠杀的视频仍出现在了社会媒体网站上，这引起了世界人民的愤怒。周五，一名恐怖分子在两所清真寺内枪杀了50名做祈祷的礼拜者。这名持枪者在Facebook上直播了此次屠杀过程。视频在社交媒体上传播。很多人认为社交媒体公司没有尽全力删除网站上的视频。随着视频的继续传播，很多社交媒体用户发帖要求大家不要分享该视频。一名用户表示：“这就是恐怖分子想要的结果。”另一名用户称社交媒体网站可以迅速撤销音乐视频却不能删除这些恐怖行动视频。

Facebook said it acted quickly to take the video down. A spokeswoman said: "New Zealand Police alerted us to a video on Facebook shortly after the live-stream commenced. We quickly removed both the shooter's Facebook and Instagram accounts and the video." YouTube said it removes "shocking, violent and graphic⁴ content" as soon as people tell them about it. The UK's Home Secretary Sajid Javid said social media sites must do more to stop the spread of "sick material" online. Mr Javid said: "It is wrong and it is illegal. Online platforms have a responsibility not to do the terrorists' work for them. This terrorist filmed his shooting with the intention of spreading his ideology⁵."

Facebook表示其已经迅速采取了行动删除这些视频。一名发言人说到：“视频直播开始后不久，新西兰警方就提醒我们留意一段视频。我们迅速删除了这名枪手的Facebook和Instagram账号和视频。”YouTube表示收到消息后，他们立即删除了“震惊且暴力的视频内容”。英国内政大臣赛义德·贾维德表示社交媒体网站必须做更多努力停止网上“令人作呕的内容”的传播。贾维德说到：“这种做法是错误且非法的。网络平台有责任，不要为恐怖分子工作。这名恐怖分子拍摄下了这段视频就是为了传播他的意识形态。”
