Jo Robertson: Make Sense co-founder on Spark becoming New Zealand's first internet provider to join the Internet Watch Foundation

from The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin · host Newstalk ZB

Telecommunications giant and internet service provider Spark is set to introduce more firewalls, filters, barriers and protections to protect Kiwi users. From April, Spark will be the first New Zealand-based provider to join the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) in order to reduce exposure to malware, scams and sexual abuse material. Make Sense co-founder Jo Robertson says Spark will go from blocking a few hundred URLs to blocking at least 6,000 objectionable links per day.  "What they're doing is- they're essentially removing so much more child sexual abuse material from their platform than other internet providers."
