Other users reported the videos and the government separately raised it with the company on Friday night.

A spokesperson for the Prime Minister said Twitter’s automated reporting function failed to identify the content as harmful.

Twitter advised the government overnight on Friday the clips had been taken down and it would do a sweep for other instances.

The Prime Minister’s office said as a member of the Christchurch Call community of 120 governments and online service providers, Twitter was expected to remove terrorist content published on its platform.
