Ardern said the shooter had used social media in an unprecedented way to promote an act of terrorism and hate.

New Zealand's prime minister Jacinda Ardern said that she and French president Emmanuel Macron will host a meeting in Paris next month seeking to eliminate acts of violent extremism and terrorism from being shown online.

Ardern said she and Macron will ask world leaders and chief executives of technology companies to agree to a pledge called the "Christchurch Call," named after the New Zealand city where an attack took place last month.
