Christchurch mosque shootings: Social media likely on agenda at Five Eyes, G20 meetings=
The use of social media to spread hate speech and incite violence will likely be discussed by the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing network of countries, Government minister Andrew Little says.
Little, who is responsible for New Zealand's security agencies, said Cabinet had yesterday discussed options for dealing with social media after the mosque massacre was livestreamed on Facebook then shared via social media.
Both he and Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern have acknowledged it would take combined efforts of countries to make a difference.
Ardern said today it was "horrendous" that the mosque gunman's video of the shooting could still be viewed on Facebook.
Little, who is also in charge of the Harmful Digital Communications Act, said there was a willingness in Government to now look more closely at what was wrong with social media - and what powers could be used to rein in the worst aspects of it.
"We know this is an area of work that other governments are looking at, the UK in particular and the US. We accept we have to work with other governments to do that."
New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Britain and the United States make up the membership of Five Eyes group and Little has been in touch with almost all of them.
"At the weekend I had calls from my Canadian counterpart, my Australian counterpart and a message from the UK Home Secretary Sajid Javid. The issue of social media and its social responsibility was raised in all of those conversations and messages," he said.
There would be a meeting of Five Eyes partners in the UK later this year and Little said it was very likely that working together on the issue would be high on the agenda, "recognising that we we're going to have to work with others to make meaningful change".

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has also called for a crackdown by G20 nations on social media giants such as Google, Facebook and Twitter following the attacks. Australia is a member of the G20 group of countries but New Zealand is not.
The Australian newspaper said that according to leaked correspondence, Morrison had written to Shinzo Abe, The Prime Minister of Japan which is hosting the summit in June, asking for a crackdown to be a top agenda item.
The G20 is an annual meeting of the world's 19 largest economies plus the EU.
