The first report came in 12 minutes after the video ended.
The video was viewed about 4,000 times before Facebook blocked it from the service, he added.
"This matters because reports we get while a video is broadcasting live are prioritized for accelerated review." During the live broadcast, the service "did not get a single user report," he wrote. He is expected to face trial in May next year.While the attack was live-streamed, the video was viewed fewer than 200 times, Rosen said. Tuesday’s case came after Australian-born Brenton Tarrant, 28, pleaded not guilty last week to 92 charges stemming from the March massacres – New Zealand’s worst peacetime mass shooting. Williams later told The Associated Press news agency his client had filed an appeal against his sentence at the High Court but declined to comment further. “It’s my submission that this court needs to be very careful to sentence Mr Arps based on what it is that he has actually done, and what he accepts he has done, not on the basis of the views that he holds,” Williams said. Appeal filedĪccording to court documents, Arps had been charged with “offensive behaviour” in 2016 and fined NZ$800 ($543) after he delivered a bloodied pig’s head to Christchurch’s Al Noor mosque, one of the two places of worship attcked in March.Īrps’ lawyer Anselm Williams argued his client should not be sent to prison. O’Driscoll added that Arps – a self-described white supremacist who argued he had a right to distribute the video under the banner of freedom to pursue his political beliefs – had described the footage as “awesome” and possessed strong and unrepentant views about the Muslim community. “Your offending glorifies and encourages the mass murder carried out under the pretext of religious and racial hatred,” District Court Judge Stephen O’Driscoll said. In addition to sharing the footage with about 30 people, Arps also possessed a doctored clip of the attacks featuring crosshairs and a “kill count”, the court heard.
