The Christchurch Call stresses capacity development
The Christchurch Call, an initiative by New Zealand and France to eliminate terrorist, violent and extremist content online, and so far supported by 18 countries and the tech industry, calls for more focus on capacity development. In a plea for an “appropriate action” it mentions collaborative actions such as awareness-raising and capacity building activities aimed at smaller online service providers. In general, the Call refocuses attention from Facebook and Twitter to Internet service providers which are within reach of the national jurisdictions.
