New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon and President Emmanuel Macron of France have announced a new non-governmental organisation, the Christchurch Call Foundation, to coordinate the Christchurch Call’s work to eliminate terrorist and violent extremist content online.

The Christchurch Call was formed in 2019, two months after the terror attacks in Christchurch.

  President Macron said: “since 2019, we have managed to build a global community to fight against extremism online and it is delivering, taking action at each tragic occurrence of a new terrorist attack.

“Our commitment to this promise remains firm and I am confident that this new stage of the Call provides a solid basis for the future of this initiative and the new challenges we now have to tackle, including AI-generated content.”
