NZ’s Prime Minister Says Social Media Can’t Have ‘All Profit, No Responsibility’, a Narrative in the Right Direction?
NZ’s Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern says social media can’t have ‘all profit, no responsibility’ during her parliamentary address, after the Christchurch incidence. She said that social media has changed the dynamics of publicity and that the ‘white supremacist’ used social media for this particular advantage. According to her, social media isn’t solely responsible for the attack, which resulted in 50 deaths in New Zealand, but it has a greater role to play. She declined to take the name of the attacker to deny him the mode of publicity. The focus was on the internet’s biggest social media sites and the effect it has over society. After the NZ’s white terror attack, people have become more concerned about social media and the impact it has over everybody’s lives. The video of her addressing the parliament was uploaded on YouTube, and she insisted that social media isn’t the only culprit here, but the people who want to divide the society know how to manipulate the social media.
