Online hate speech in New Zealand is becoming more targeted and our system can't keep pace.
Netsafe's latest survey shows since 2018, the proportion of ethnicity-based hate speech has risen from 18% to 36%, becoming the most common reason people are targeted.
Political-based hate has also increased to 25%.

He says that when people clearly understand where the laws sit and there’s a framework to deal with that harmful content, then the platforms can better deal with it.
