An Islamic group is suing Facebook and YouTube for hosting footage of the New Zealand terror attack.

The French Council of the Muslim Faith is using laws that prohibit ‘broadcasting a message with violent content abetting terrorism’.

Footage spread across the web after the gunman live-streamed his spree on Facebook.
