Youtube, Facebook Remove Millions Of NZ Mosque Shooting Videos

Description

According to Gizmodo, Youtube scrambled this weekend to remove horrific videos of a gunman opening fire in two mosques in New Zealand. The alleged shooter is now in custody after he killed at least 51 people, while injuring many others. Prior to the shooting, the gunman had shared a 74-page hateful manifesto to social media, and during the shooting he captured first-person footage on a body cam. The footage immediately spread across the internet. Neal Mohan, YouTube’s chief product officer, told The Washington Post, “Every time a tragedy like this happens we learn something new, and in this case it was the unprecedented volume." He added, YouTube has “made progress, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have a lot of work ahead of us, and this incident has shown that, especially in the case of more viral videos like this one, there’s more work to be done.” Facebook also said it removed 1.5 million videos of the attack within the first 24 hours.

  • Farewell, Adobe Flash

    After seeing warnings about it for over a year, Windows 10 users are now being told to ditch Adobe Flash once and for all. The multimedia software platform powered many pre-YouTube animated videos like Homestar Runner. But now, Gizmodo reports Adobe Flash is officially ancient technology. As of December 31, 2020, Adobe stopped supporting the software. Updating Windows 10 will only remove the Adobe Flash Player that was installed by your version of Windows—not if you installed it manually from elsewhere. Once the update is applied, Adobe Flash will be removed from the Control Panel. Windows 10 users will not be able to roll back the update. Users can also uninstall Flash via Adobe’s website.
