Twitter and Facebook parent Meta said Friday they are deleting any videos of the assassination of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe that break their rules on harmful content.

Videos showing a gunman firing a double-barrelled weapon twice at Abe were circulating on social media.

Some only show the moments before and after the attack while others show both shots.

Meta said it was deleting videos depicting the moment of the attack and had disabled the suspect’s Facebook and Instagram accounts.
