Social media giants are battling to remove the New Zealand massacre footage from their sites, as Facebook insist the killer's account was removed as soon as possible.
A man who identified himself as Brenton Tarrant, 28, used Facebook to broadcast his slaughter of 49 worshippers at two mosques in Christchurch as Friday prayers were underway.
New Zealand police alerted the social media giant to the livestream soon after it began, Facebook confirmed as they offered their condolences to the victims and their families.
Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube are facing a monumental task in purging the sickening footage, as well as other content originally from Tarrant.
Facebook said they were alerted to the terrorist's attack at the Al Noor Mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, by the police soon after it began

'Our hearts go out to the victims, their families, and the community affected by this horrendous act,' Facebook's boss in Australia and New Zealand, Mia Garlick, said in an email seen by Business Insider.
'New Zealand Police alerted us to a video on Facebook shortly after the livestream commenced, and we quickly removed both the shooter's Facebook and Instagram accounts and the video,' Ms Garlick added.
'We're also removing any praise or support for the crime and the shooter or shooters as soon as we're aware. We will continue working directly with New Zealand Police as their response and investigation continues.'
The gunman spread his hate across multiple social media platforms, including posting a 73-page manifesto of hate to Twitter - they have since deleted it.
The media have shown the moments leading up to the attack, with most choosing to cut the footage when the violence begins.
However, social media users are plaguing the sites with a mass of disturbing content, unedited and totally unfiltered for anyone to see.
The sites which use a combination of human and artificial intelligence are struggling to cope with their users' appetite for the content.
The terrorist's footage showed the weapons being placed in the boot of a silver vehicle and then being unloaded at the mosque.
The white supremacist wears a body camera to give a first-person view as he walks towards the door of the mosque as he takes aim and starts firing on innocent worshippers.

The gunfire began at about 1.45pm as the mosque was packed with devotees for its Friday prayer ceremonies.
At about the same time, a second shooter opened fire at the Masjid Mosque in Linwood, within six miles of the first attack.
Four suspects - who were not known to counter-terror authorities - are being questioned in custody.
In the aftermath of the bloody attacks, three men and one woman were arrested, with police charging 'one man in his late 20s' with murder. He will face court on Saturday.
Two others remain in police custody, with the fourth person arrested deemed not to have been involved in the attacks.
Of the 49 fatalities, 41 were killed at the Al Noor Mosque and seven at the Linwood Avenue mosque, with another dying in hospital.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
