Topic: Christchurch Call

Jacinda Ardern advocates for global regulation of online content, framing mis- and disinformation as "weapons of war" that threaten climate change action and human rights. The hosts argue her rhetoric is a sophisticated attempt to dismantle free speech under the guise of preventing chaos. They criticize her logic that a country is only as strong as its "weakest link" or those who "do the least."

Following the Christchurch mosque attacks, New Zealand has spearheaded the "Christchurch Call" to eliminate extremist content online. Major tech companies like Facebook, Google, and Microsoft have joined the initiative, which the hosts describe as a move toward a "police state" for the internet. Facebook has already implemented a "one-strike" policy for its Live streaming service to appease advertisers.
