New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern will co-chair a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris later today to discuss her plan which has been dubbed the ‘Christchurch Call’.
Ms Ardern’s initiative will ask signatory nations to adopt measures to ban objectionable material online and create a framework for media to report on atrocities without amplifying them.
The initiative will be put forth to digital ministers from G7 nations attending the meeting, and Ms Ardern says New Zealand will push to “prevent the use of live streaming as a tool for broadcasting terrorist attacks”.
