LiveLeak is a video sharing website headquartered in London. The site was founded on 31 October 2006,[6] in part by the team behind the Ogrish.comshock site, which closed on the same day.[4] LiveLeak 'aims to take reality footage, politics, war, and other world events and combine them with the power of citizen journalism'.[7][8] Hayden Hewitt of Manchester is the only public member of LiveLeak's founding team.[4]
History[edit]
Featured videos often involve graphic content of fatal accidents or shootings. Although by 2016, Liveleak had reduced its controversial content, the site frequently sparked up controversy up until around 2008, mostly due to its graphic and political content. The site came to prominence in 2007 following the unauthorised filming and leaking of the execution of Saddam Hussein, and was referred to by White House Press SecretaryTony Snow and then-Prime Minister of the United KingdomTony Blair.[9][10]
On 30 July 2007, the BBC program Panorama broadcast a show about how young people were getting physically assaulted and knocked unconscious.[11] When Panorama queried the 'extremely violent videos' that had been posted to LiveLeak's website, co-founder Hayden Hewitt refused to take them down, stating, 'Look all this is happening, this is real life, this is going on, we're going to show it.'[12] LiveLeak states there are relatively few such videos on the site and should the uploaders be found to have participated in the violent attack or filmed it themselves, it would aid the police with any prosecutions.[13]
Deftones gore download. Soon after the release Deftones went on the tour in support of Saturday Night Wrist.In 2007 the musicians started working on the material for their new album Eros, but on November 4, 2008 the bassist Chi Cheng was seriously injured in a car accident and he lapsed into a coma.
LiveLeak was again in the spotlight in March 2008, when it hosted the anti-Quran film Fitna made by Dutch politician Geert Wilders. LiveLeak holds to being strictly non-biased in its approach to members and their content, believing in freedom of speech within the site rules, regardless of how certain content might offend them personally.[14]Fitna was taken down after threats were made against LiveLeak staff, but was back online on 30 March 2008 after LiveLeak reportedly improved security. The video was once again removed two days later on 1 April this time it was removed by the user citing that it was taken down due to copyright wrangles and a new version would be uploaded 'soon.'
A video of US journalist James Foley was posted by Islamist fighters on YouTube before, as reported by US News & World Report, 'YouTube deleted it and demand for the LiveLeak version soared.'[15] In response to that video the leadership of the website declared that they would not host any 'further beheadings carried out by IS.'[16][4] The website will continue to host the original video that depicts the aftermath of Foley's execution.
On 31 March 2019, Australian telecom Telstra denied millions of Australians access to the websites 4chan, 8chan, Zero Hedge, and LiveLeak as a reaction to the Christchurch mosque shootings.[17]
Features[edit]
'YourSay' is a section of the website where users upload their own videos, much like a vlog. Unlike YouTube, the vlogs on LiveLeak are more political and are known for debate.
LiveLeak currently has multiple categories including Syria and Ukraine, in which graphic content regarding various conflicts can be viewed.[18]
Partnerships[edit]
On 24 March 2014, LiveLeak and Ruptly announced a content partnership.[19]

Police said four people -- three men and a woman -- had been taken into custody, and that they had found and neutralised a number of IEDS (improved explosive devices).
A Palestinian man who was in one of the mosques said he saw someone being shot in the head.
The chilling POV video, confirmed by New Zealand media and verified by Storyful, begins with a man in brown fingerless gloves driving through the streets of Christchurch towards the mosque.
The gunman parks the car around the corner from the mosque and opens the car boot revealing two black rifles covered in white writing, petrol containers and a bag that reads “PROUDLY KIWI AS”.
He storms the mosque through the front door and starts shooting indiscriminately at anyone he sees.
He can be seen in the video reloading his rifle multiple times and walking in and out of rooms in an apparent attempt to make sure all people inside are dead.
He leaves the mosque after a few minutes and then walks back out the front gate, where he shoots a volley of gunfire up and down the street.
In the 17-minute horrifying video, the gunman - described by witnesses at the crime scene as short and wearing a military uniform - never spoke a word and continued shooting the worshipers.
Then he comes into the mosque again and openes fire on the people lying on the floor.
The video, which is now being removed from the internet, shows the gunman shooting down a woman on the road before boarding the car.
While driving towards unknown destination he attacks some of the men on the streets.
