Twitter, Facebook and Alphabet Inc pledge to fight hate speech online
16 May
Representatives
from Facebook Inc., Twitter Inc. and Alphabet Inc are committed to help curb
the internet’s role in spreading hate speech and incitement to violence.
At a summit
in Paris, representatives from the companies are committing to a new wave of innovation
that will include new rules, algorithms and direct intervention to curb violent
extremism on social media platforms.
According
to Bloomberg, French President Emmanuel Macron and New Zealand Prime
Minister Jacinda Ardern, were joined by leaders from the U.K., Canada, Jordan,
Indonesia and others to approve the push they dubbed the “Christchurch Call.”
The U.S. has also agreed in principle.
“Today must be Day One for change,” Ardern told reporters
after the summit. “It’s a road map for action, and it’s comforting to see major
internet companies committing to collaborative action.”
Facebook is tightening its rules for Facebook Live with a ‘one-strike’ policy for users who violate its rules on offensive or dangerous content, such as link sharing to terrorist related activities. Those in violation will be blocked from the Live features, and the company will be looking to expand these restrictions into other areas in the near future .

After 20 years of evolving technology, shifting market trends, and adapting to changing consumer behaviour, the media landscape has nearly reached saturation.
We’ve optimised to the fullest, providing advertisers with abundant choices across technology, platforms, data-driven marketing, CTV, OTT, DOOH, influencer marketing, retail, etc.
Media specialists have diversified, but with more options comes the challenge of maintaining income growth. The industry is expanding, but revenue isn’t keeping pace.
Now, we’re at a TURNING POINT: time to explore and harness new sustainable revenue streams. While GroupM forecasts a 7.8% global ad revenue growth in 2024, challenges like antitrust regulation, AI and copyright issues, and platform bans persist.
Collaboration is key: partnerships that thrive on synergy, shared values, and aligned goals are becoming increasingly essential.
Hence, the Malaysian Media Conference, in its 20th year, has assembled the partners and players under one roof on October 25 for a day of learning, sharing, and exploring.
