As tech giants face growing criticism for their part in the dissemination of the video of the deadly Christchurch terrorist attack in New Zealand last week, Facebook said nobody reported the livestream of the shooting as it was happening.

Although Facebook said the video was viewed live fewer than 200 times, it wasn’t until it had been viewed more than 4,000 times before the company removed the video, General Counsel Chris Sonderby said in an update late Monday. Facebook removed the video within an hour of the shootings, minutes after being alerted to it by New Zealand authorities, Facebook’s vice president for global policy, Monika Bickert, told the New Zealand Herald, noting that the company’s much-touted artificial intelligence technology did not detect the video.
