Mosque shooter's video, manifesto still appearing online

From Morning Report, 7:22 am on 27 May 2019

In the three weeks following the Christchurch terror attacks, nearly 800 people have contacted the Department of Internal Affairs to report online links to video footage of the killings or the shooter's so-called manifesto.

Now, two months on, the number of such alerts has decreased to just a couple a week, but the web safety group Netsafe says such material is still available on almost 50 websites worldwide.

And, as a Wellington man discovered, the manifesto and references to it can turn up in the most unexpected places.
