New Zealand's leader Jacinda Ardern will join other world leaders in launching a"Christchurch call" to curb online extremism at an international meeting in Paris on Wednesday, following the worst mass killing in her country's recent history.
Arden has been the driving force behind the Paris summit, co-hosted with French President Emmanuel Macron, following the tragedy. Ardern said Facebook removed 1.5 million copies of the video within 24 hours of the attack, but she still found herself among those who inadvertently saw the footage when it auto-played on their social media feeds.
Top executives from Twitter, Microsoft, Google and Amazon will also attend, though Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg will be represented by another executive from the social media giant, after meeting with Macron last Friday. "No company wants their platforms to become a pool of hateful content, nor do their advertisers or most of their users," he said.
