"In terms of how long blocks stay in place, this is an ongoing, industry-wide discussion we are currently working through with other agencies to help establish a longer term solution," the Vodafone spokesperson told Mashable.
When the video is identified, the site is temporarily blocked and then notified with a request to remove the content. If they comply, the site is unblocked.
"There has been a number of sites blocked and then unblocked in this way," the spokesperson added.
"We apologise to legitimate internet users who may have been inconvenienced by this, however under the circumstances we believed it was the responsible thing for the industry to do."
Spark managing director Simon Moutter tweeted on Saturday that his team had worked all night to ensure material would be blocked.

"These are shocking events and the idea that this footage could in some way be used to incite or support hate is a sickening thought. We will continue to do whatever we can to assist and to support a diverse and inclusive community."
