For context, and as colleagues at The Disinfo Project know, in March 2023 - again on a single day - I studied more copies of the ChCh killer's video online than what NZ's Dept. of Internal Affairs in its 2022 Digital Violent Extremism Transparency Report said it had looked at for *ALL* of 2022.

A year hence, it's worse. I studied by order of magnitude more content in ~10hrs than DIA's 2023 DVE report flags around the ChCh livestream video. The point is a simple one. NZ's apex agency studying online harms, & by extension, NZ's govt, seemingly clueless how bad diffusion of video really is.
