Facebook teams up with police to stop streaming of terror attacks

Tech company to equip officers with body cameras to help identify terror attack videos

Facebook is working with the Metropolitan police to improve the social network's ability to detect live streaming of terrorism and potentially alert officers about an attack sooner.

The tech company will provide officers at the Met's firearms training centres with body cameras, in an effort to help its artificial intelligence more accurately and rapidly identify videos of real-life first person shooter incidents.
