Royal Commission Probes Online Hate

Australia’s Royal Commission into rising anti-Semitism and online hate is zeroing in on social media’s role in radicalization, with major platforms like X and Telegram refusing cooperation. Amid growing concern over unchecked hate speech, especially after the Bondi terror attack, the commission is probing how “free speech” platforms like Gab — which openly reject Australian oversight — contribute to normalization of violence. Jewish community leaders share their experiences of online harassment, while experts warn that unmoderated digital spaces fuel extremism. The final report, due in December, will examine how media coverage of global conflicts intersects with domestic hate — all in the urgent quest to stop hate before it explodes.
