The assailant's 35-minute video was originally livestreamed on Twitch, an Amazon-owned, gaming-focused streaming platform.
The assault in city of Halle, which left two people dead Wednesday, took place as Jews marked the holy day of Yom Kippur, with the gunman streaming the attack live online. Roughly 24 hours after the attack, video and links to an anti-Semitic 'manifesto' published a week earlier by the gunman were also still available online using a simple keyword search on popular anonymous online forum 4chan. Video of a deadly shooting in Germany was easily accessible on 4chan, BitChute and other sites Thursday, attracting tens of thousands of views, despite efforts by tech companies to curb the spread of violent content.
