Intelligence community officials said Friday they expect Russia, Iran and China to increase the cadence of influence operations targeting U.S. voters over the final two months of the 2024 election cycle. The assessment comes after a whirlwind month where U.S. officials accused Iran of engaging in a hack-and-leak operation targeting the presidential campaign of Donald Trump and JD Vance, and this week imposed indictments, seizures and economic sanctions on Russian government officials and members of state media organ RT for a $10 million scheme to covertly launder pro-Russian propaganda through the right-wing media outfit Tenet Media and popular conservative influencers. But officials at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence told reporters Friday that they continue to view these activities as forms of election “influence” as opposed to direct attempts to interfere with or disrupt voting and election infrastructure . The Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology Directorate plans to award a contract to the nonprofit OpenMined for research and development-related services meant to curb online content related to violent extremism, according to a government posting. The agreement comes as part of the U.S. government's work in response to the Christchurch Call, which the Biden administration joined in 2021. That initiative, which brings together technology platforms and government leaders, was formed following the 2019 mass shooting in Christchurch, New Zealand, that killed 51 people.

Changes to the Christchurch Call are being welcomed by the Muslim community.  The initiative's becoming a charitable foundation and will no longer rely on taxpayer funding.  It will continue its mission to reduce online extremism but is no longer linked to the governments of New Zealand or France, which founded it in 2019.  The Federation of Islamic Associations NZ chair Abdur Razzaq told Andrew Dickens that the government isn't pulling their support, but rather it was a natural transition for the organisation.  He said that it's not about whether the new structure is better, but rather what services it can provide now that it couldn't before.  LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Prime Minister says the Christchurch Call has done good work. The Government has decided to pull taxpayer funding for the initiative, launched by former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern after the Christchurch mosque attacks. From July, it will run off donations with Ardern staying on as patron - rather than New Zealand's special envoy for the foundation. Chris Luxon says eliminating violent extremism online is a very tough task. "But actually, the work of coordinating tech players to see what they can do to eliminate it is actually a good thing. And it's a good mission." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Taxpayer support for the Christchurch Call will soon end, as it transitions to being a non-governmental foundation. Prime Minister Chris Luxon says the Call's work will continue, but it now has a new structure and will be self-funded. ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says founder Jacinda Ardern's intentions were noble - but it wasn't enough. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's thought the Christchurch Call's refresh is in-line with technology's rapid evolution.  The call —designed to battle online extremism and hate content— is becoming a foundation.  Taxpayer funding ends in July.  Dame Jacinda Ardern will become patron, rather than New Zealand's special envoy.  Gorilla Tech Chief Executive Paul Spain told Roman Travers that the tech world is a different place since the call began, particularly with AI.  He says the tools available now are far better and more powerful than in 2019.  LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Do you want some savings?  I have found a couple of hundred million for you then.  A report out has looked at who gets the Winter Energy Payment. It's a shedload of money that is yet again going to be doled out this month for the colder period, so oldies don't freeze to death.  It's one of the more shameful decisions of this new Government and reminded me of the Christchurch Call, which they also inexplicably carried on with.  The Christchurch Call isn't that expensive, but it is a grandiose truckload of virtue signalling, psychobabble that, as information revealed this week shows, has achieved basically nothing but “feels”.  If a new Government was looking for easy day one savings, that would have been a goodie and the Winter Energy Payment would not have been far behind.  So, the detail is that 53% of those getting superannuation don't need a heating top up. They have enough to look after themselves.  So why do they get it?  Well, that's Labour all over, isn't it? It's a high trust model. You can opt out if you like. But who does? No one.  So, the waste builds. With that 53%, if you didn't hand it out you have just saved $205 million.  Now, you can only blame Labour until someone else comes along to re-introduce a bit of reality to the room.  Except the new lot decided not to.  It's not dissimilar to John Key who thought Working For Families was communism by stealth, until he decided to carry on with the programme. Here it is to this day, churning through billions as you work and pay your taxes only for them to take your money, have an entire battalion of public servants rifle through your entitlements and, if you are lucky, hand some of it back.  It is ruinously wasteful.  I assume someone, somewhere thought about the slightly simpler idea of you keeping the money in the first place so you don't need the paperwork and hassle of trying to repatriate it. Of course, if they did it that way they wouldn't have a financial hold over you, which of course is what a previous Labour Government had in mind when they invented it.  So, we end up with $205 million in wasted money.  Clearly not all money saving ideas have been exhausted. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The benefits of the Christchurch Call are being debated in the wake of allegations that it's silencing member organisations.  Jacinda Ardern established the global alliance in 2019 to combat online extremism in the wake of the Christchurch mosque attacks.  But Newstalk ZB has revealed a member organisation of the Advisory Network has quit, claiming it was pressured not to release a report suggesting India isn't honouring its commitments.  Tech commentator Peter Griffin told Mike Hosking that the alliance has helped achieve some global change, but it's ultimately a voluntary collective.  Griffin says big-tech companies have little incentive to act and would rather spend the money on advertising.  LISTEN ABOVE   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A resistência inicial do Twitter em retirar do ar conteúdos relacionados a ataques contra escolas sob alegação de que perfil com foto de assassinos de crianças não viola termos de uso da rede nem representa apologia ao crime é uma postura criminosa, segundo especialistas. Não só porque a plataforma mente – qualquer um que digite a hashtag #tcctwt, por exemplo, encontra facilmente conteúdos violentos e de ódio da True Crime Community – como desrespeita frontalmente as premissas do Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism (GIFCT), que o Twitter ajudou a fundar em 2017 com Microsoft, Facebook e YouTube. Para a pesquisadora Michele Prado, especializada em radicalização online e extremismo, é fundamental que o Brasil passe a fazer parte dos dois fóruns globais contra extremismo/ terrorismo online: o Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism (GIFCT) e o Christchurch Call.

Jacinda Ardern has revealed her first steps outside the corridors of power, as Special Envoy for the Christchurch Call and on the board of Prince William's Earthshot Prize. Another former prime minister who moved onto roles on the international stage is Helen Clark. She spoke to Guyon Espiner.

She earned herself an international reputation as a "rock star" politician but today, Jacinda Ardern's leaving that behind as she gives her valedictory speech. For more than five years, she was the most popular prime minister in the polls. But as opposition to Covid-19 mandates grew, the response to her signature "be kind" brand became increasingly marred by misogyny and vitriol. She's now revealed her first steps outside the corridors of power, as Special Envoy for the Christchurch Call and on the board of Prince William's Earthshot Prize. Political scientists, Victoria University of Wellington associate professor Dr Lara Greaves, and University of Canterbury Professor Bronwyn Hayward spoke to Corin Dann.

Prime Minister Chris Hipkins has hinted his predecessor, Jacinda Ardern, could continue her work on the Christchurch Call when she leaves politics next month.  Jacinda Ardern launched the initiative, aimed at eliminating terrorist and violent extremist content online, in the aftermath of the March 15 Mosque attacks.  But Opposition parties are questioning what progress has been made since then.  Here's political reporter, Katie Scotcher.  Paul Ash, from the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, insists the Christchurch Call has made a tangible difference to the online environment, with people now less likely to encounter terrorist and extremist content online. He says online service providers continue to strive to improve understanding of the role of algorithms in online radicalisation, and to develop positive interventions.

New Zealand is leading a bid to break open social media's secret algorithms as part of The Christchurch Call  response, with backing from some big tech outfits. But without input from the biggest ones, will it undercut the extremism on social media platforms?  Mediawatch asks a social media pioneer who founded the forerunner of Twitter, but now wants to break the power of the big platforms.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has utilised her platform on the international stage during the UN general assembly to advertise the Christchurch Call, a joint initiative with French President Emmanuel Macron to help combat online extremism. The ACT Party is highly critical of this initiative, believing that it is not the best thing Ardern could have done with her time in the international spotlight. Casper spoke to ACT leader David Seymour, filling in for his deputy Brooke van Velden, about this criticism as well as one topic some believe Ardern should be pushing for more - investment in New Zealand's economy.

I think the biggest loser out of last night's TVNZ poll is TVNZ who spent a decent chunk of money on a poll that essentially told us nothing happened. National and ACT still form a government and the current Government are out of office. It shows, I suspect, a malaise we are currently in. We're a year out from a vote, and not everyone is gripped by the minutiae of politics. They also polled on the republic. Once again a bust, no one wants one. Either the number that actively say they don't want one or the large number of people who don't care. Chris Luxon put it well when asked yesterday, he said no one has raised it with him. Guess why. It's not an issue. It's a good example of the disconnect between the media and the real world. When the Queen dies, the media thinks of what the next angle is. Given her death isn't changing, all you are left with is the republic question. The poll result tells us we have better things to think about. There are some suggestions the Prime Minister's offshore presence might have played better for them. I think the reality is that we are over that. If you were ever enamoured with Ardern on the world stage, that has worn well and truly thin, as it's become apparent that a lot of what she does amounts to literally nothing. When was the last time you chatted about the Christchurch Call? When was the last time you got excited about the United Nations? She is a wonk and detached from day to day New Zealand life who loves two places to be, schools where kids still like her and overseas where the heat is off. I suppose if you are a Labour supporter you could argue it's still a race. My pick is as more and more get focussed the issue Labour faces will only get worse. You could also argue the small parties, all on 1 percent, all add up to about 7 percent. The trouble with that is it's a wasted vote. Under MMP, you get 5 percent, win a seat, or it all gets put in the bin. Anyway, the trend we have seen all year is intact, a change of government is coming. But for the bill payer of the poll, a night of drama was sadly missing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Prime Minister is winging her way to New York - fresh from the Queen's funeral - to take part in this year's United Nations General Assembly. Jacinda Ardern has a busy schedule ahead - including co-hosting a leaders' summit for the Christchurch Call. Our deputy political editor Craig McCulloch is in New York and spoke to Guyon Espiner.

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is determined to stop the spread of extremism and radicalization online. In the aftermath of the 2019 terrorist attack on two mosques in Christchurch, she saw the livestream of the tragedy go viral across social media feeds, including her own. In response, she led the creation of the Christchurch Call, a commitment by governments and tech companies to eliminate terrorist and violent extremist content online. In this episode, Brad and Prime Minister Ardern discuss the Christchurch Call, how algorithms fan the flames of extremism and the need to address misinformation to create a stronger, more connected society.Since being elected Prime Minister of New Zealand in 2017, Jacinda Ardern has placed wellbeing at heart of her Government's work. Along with holding the Child Poverty Reduction portfolio, she has championed efforts to tackle long-term challenges like climate change, social inequality, and unaffordable housing. She entered Parliament in 2008 as a list MP, and was later elected to represent the Mount Albert electorate. During this time, she was responsible for a wide range of policy areas, including Social Development, Arts, Culture and Heritage, Children, Justice, and Small Business. Throughout her career, she has been a strong advocate for children, women, and the right to meaningful work.Click here for the episode transcript.

The Governance and Administration committee has been hearing from the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet about what progress has been made on the Christchurch Call.

Slaves to the algorithm - big tech's mathematical maximising of engagement undermines the Christchurch Call three years on; Budget 2022 - public media entity's funding finally made public; Budget 2022 - more for Maori media, but where's the strategy?

Big tech and social media bosses pledged to eradicate online extremism in Christchurch Call three years ago in Paris - and today they claim atrocities which echo the 15 March massacre don't go viral online anymore. But their algorithms which amplify extremism and radicalise people in the first place still operate unchecked.

The head of the Christchurch Call says the global crackdown has made it harder for terrorists to weaponise the internet. An 18-year-old livestreamed himself shooting more than a dozen mostly-black people in a grocery store in Buffalo, New York, yesterday. He claims he was radicalised by the Christchurch mosque shooter. The attack was similar to the March 15 - involving a lone gunman, assault-style rifle and manifesto. Paul Ash heads up the Christchurch Call for the Government. He spoke to political reporter Anneke Smith about how much difference the crackdown is making.

A new international report shows social media platforms fail to act when anti-Muslim hate speech is posted online. The Christchurch Call to Eliminate Terrorist and Violent Extremist Content Online was agreed to by tech giants Facebook, Twitter and Google in the aftermath of the March 15 mosque attacks. The Washington-based Center for Countering Digital Hate has now issued a report which shows that anti-Muslim messaging online is as bad as ever. Former Christchurch city counsellor and leader of The Opportunities Party, Raf Manji, a member of the local Muslim community who was active in the aftermath of the terror attacks of 15 March, spoke to Kim Hill.

White supremacism is the leading source of illegal content online in NZ - by a long way. A report by the Department of Internal Affairs has presented an overview of terrorist and violent extremist content investigated throughout 2021, and the results are startling. Nearly three years after the mosque terror attack, the massacre livestream continued to be shared and promoted - particularly by white supremacists. It's the Department's first report of online content as part of the Christchurch Call pledge to eliminate extremist content online. Sociologist professor Paul Spoonley spoke to Corin Dann.

In March 2019, a shooter carried out two mass killings at mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, livestreaming the first shooting on Facebook. Two months later, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and French President Emmanuel Macron convened the Christchurch Call—a commitment joined by both governments and technology companies “to eliminate terrorist and violent extremist content online.”It's now been two years since the Christchurch Call. To discuss those years and what comes next, Evelyn Douek and Quinta Jurecic of the Arbiters of Truth series of the Lawfare Podcast spoke with Dia Kayyali, who serves as a co-chair of the Advisory Network to the Christchurch Call, a group of civil society organizations that work to ensure that the signatories to the Call consider a more diverse range of expertise and perspectives when implementing its commitments. Dia is a long-time digital rights activist and the associate director for advocacy at Mnemonic, an organization that works to preserve online documentation of human rights abuses. What has their experience been like as a voice for civil society in these conversations around the Call? What should we make of the recent decision by the Biden administration to sign the United States on to the call? And what are the risks of potentially over-aggressive moderation in an effort to take down “terrorist” content? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

There are three parts in this week's episode. The first two reflect on the Christchurch Call Summit, a meeting of world leaders and tech executives to discuss efforts to police hate speech and extremism on social media. Moderated by Courtney Radsch, a member of the Tech Policy Press masthead, our guests include Paul Ash, the New Zealand Prime Minister's Special Representative on Cyber and Digital and the Coordinator of the Christchurch Call; and Dia Kayyali, Associate Director for Advocacy at Mnemonic, the umbrella organization for Syrian Archive, Yemeni Archive, and Sudanese Archive. The third is an interview with New York State Senator Anna Kaplan on legislation she has introduced to contend with hate speech and misinformation.
