By morning on the East Coast, news outlets had already weighed in on whether technology companies might be partly to blame for catastrophes such as the New Zealand massacre because they have failed to catch offensive content before it spreads. 'Tech companies basically don’t see this as a priority,' the counter-extremism policy adviser Lucinda Creighton told CNN. 'They say this is terrible, but what they’re not doing is preventing this from reappearing.'”
