Jacinda Ardern urged tech leaders to take more responsibility during her speech at the Christchurch Call summit in Paris. The horrific attack in Christchurch led to a strange reappraisal of that twinge of excitement we used to get whenever New Zealand was mentioned in overseas media.

New Zealand is doing its best to make a serious change to those rules of the internet.
