Footage of the shooting has rapidly spread, accumulating millions of views across platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, and YouTube, as well as on news websites such as 9news.com.au.
Many of these clips contain extremely graphic content.
If you’re on YouTube, look for the three dots located at the bottom right of main feed videos or at the top right for shorts.
Once you find the dots, you can choose the option labeled ‘not interested.’
On the platform X, the three dots for marking content as ‘not interested’ are found in the top right corner of a post.
These guidelines are specific to mobile applications; the process may differ on desktop versions.
Graphic content can also be reported to social media platforms and to the eSafety Commissioner.
More information will be added as it becomes available.
