Terror and Social Media | Government should black out Internet during the crisis

Disclaimer: I am not trying to be insensitive to anyone by this post. But I do want to share my views regarding how the situation should have been handled more better.

I honestly feel the decision was made in haste about the change in gun law. Instead of going straight to the media and releasing the statement, Gun laws will change. Prime Minister should have created a "War Room" to monitor the situation 24/7  to make a swift decision. This is easily doable with the help of security agencies, intelligence unit and security advisors. In fact, there should be a permanent war room to monitor natural and unnatural disaster. 

But these days thanks to the advent of the Internet and Social Media, the news about terror is spread out to the world like a wildfire. The attack on Christchurch has also proven that terrorist can livestream the event all over the internet. 

We are emotional beings when we see someone suffering we are immediately filled with grief. When we see a violent attack on innocents our emotions burst into anger. The media reports don't do any good, they are actually fueling this anger with an immediate breaking news report. 

Leaders are literally forced to immediately organise a press conference and talk to media and this also leads to making a regretful statement in front of the media There is no need to consult the media prematurely

If the internet was blacked out, the live footage of the attacker would have been stopped from circulating over the web. 

Also, there are chances of controllers behind the attack are watching media coverage and conveying the same to the terrorists in operation. This was not the case but it had happened before. So it is better to disable civilian access to the internet for the duration of the crisis.

No leader should be like Fraser Anning, the person has not only tried to spread hatred through an official media release but also put Australians in the harm's way. This kind of people should not be voted to run a country.

Only can TRUE LOVE can help to STOP these hatreds around the world.

True Love comes from God
