Facebook said it would stop people who have recently posted terrorist propaganda from broadcasting live video on its service.
KEY FACTS
--- This is Facebook's response to pressure to dial back live-streaming after it was used to broadcast the attack in New Zealand.
--- The company said it would impose a "one-strike" rule, blocking people who have violated certain rules.
--- This includes restrictions on posting terrorist content, which could lead to a 30-day live-streaming ban.
--- Change comes ahead of a summit in Paris on Wednesday called the "Christchurch Call", where Facebook, Google and Youtube will meet.
--- The Christchurch Call is a joint venture of New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and French President Emmanuel Macron.
--- A draft of the call includes a pledge from social-media companies to reduce the risk that anyone can use live-streaming to broadcast extremist content.
