Relatives of those killed in last week's shootings at two mosques in New Zealand began to bury the dead Wednesday, as the country's prime minister renewed her call to remember the 50 victims rather than the white supremacist accused of slaughtering them. New Zealand Police Commissioner Mike Bush said police have now formally identified and released the remains of 21 of those killed.

Facebook agrees to advertising overhaul to settle U.S. discrimination suits
Under the agreement, Facebook will create a new advertising portal for ads linked to housing, employment and credit ads that will limit targeting options for those ads across all of its services, including Instagram and Messenger, the rights groups said in a joint statement. "There is a long history of discrimination in the areas of housing, employment and credit, and this harmful behaviour should not happen through Facebook ads," Facebook's Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg said in a separate statement. Facebook, the world's largest social network with 2.7 billion users and nearly $56 billion in annual revenue, has been on the defensive over its advertising practices, while also fending off privacy scandals and disclosures that Russia used its platform to meddle in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
