Jacinda Ardern joins fight against online extremism.

Former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has been appointed as Special Envoy for the Christchurch Call, a group aimed at eliminating terrorist and violent extremist content online. Ardern launched the initiative with French President Emmanuel Macron in 2019 after a white supremacist gunman killed 51 people at two mosques in Christchurch. The group has since been signed up to by over 50 countries and tech companies including Facebook, Amazon, Google, and Twitter. Ardern will begin the part-time role this month and will not receive any pay. She has also joined the board of trustees for The Earthshot Prize, an environmental charity started by Britain’s Prince William in 2020.
