Graphic Evidence Opens Kirk Killing Hearing in Utah Court, Public Largely Excluded

Prosecutors opened a weeklong preliminary hearing in Provo, Utah, presenting several graphic videos of Charlie Kirk’s shooting; the public was largely excluded as some clips were shown only to the judge and parties due to their graphic nature. Judge Tony Graf flinched during one video, while defense lawyers questioned video authenticity and security gaps, slowing proceedings. Defendant Tyler Robinson faces aggravated murder charges with potential death penalty; the hearing will decide if there is enough evidence to proceed to trial. Notable attendees included Erika Kirk and Donald Trump Jr., among others, as cameras and public access remain restricted.

Unmasking the Disinformation: Unveiling the Truth Behind Graphic Videos of Hamas Attacks

Graphic videos and images of Hamas' attacks on Israel, including mass shootings and violence, are being widely shared on X (formerly known as Twitter), in violation of the platform's own rules against inciting violence. The content includes videos of militants murdering civilians and Israeli soldiers, viral hashtags praising Hamas' activities, and graphic pictures of those killed, along with antisemitic hate speech. The prevalence of extremist material on X is significantly higher compared to other platforms, according to analysis by POLITICO and independent researchers. The lack of moderation tools and verification systems on X could lead to further offline violence.

Twitter under fire for allowing graphic videos of Texas mall shooting to circulate.

Graphic videos of the Texas mall shooting spread rapidly on Twitter, with some clips showing dead bodies of victims, including children. Twitter moderators were slow to remove the footage, which was viewed millions of times before being taken down. The accounts spreading the videos had various motivations, including spreading false information and boosting the popularity of fringe accounts. Experts suggest that staff cuts at Twitter have led to a lack of expertise in content moderation. The company is a member of Christchurch Call, which aims to prevent terrorist and violent extremist content from spreading online.
