The benefits of the Christchurch Call are being debated in the wake of allegations that it's silencing member organisations.\xa0

Jacinda Ardern established the global alliance in 2019 to combat online extremism in the wake of the Christchurch mosque attacks.\xa0

But Newstalk ZB has revealed a member organisation of the Advisory Network has quit, claiming it was pressured not to release a report suggesting India isn't honouring its commitments.\xa0

Tech commentator Peter Griffin told Mike Hosking that the alliance has helped achieve some global change, but it's ultimately a voluntary collective.\xa0

Griffin says big-tech companies have little incentive to act and would rather spend the money on advertising.\xa0
