Furthering the trend of social media beginning to face into its social and governance responsibilities, this month saw 17 countries along with a number of tech giants including Facebook, Amazon, Google, YouTube, Microsoft and Twitter sign up to the so-called Christchurch Call.
The initiative – instigated by the Christchurch terrorist attacks in March which were live streamed on social media – seeks to tackle online terrorist and extremist content and was initiated by NZ prime minister Jacinda Ardern.
