A royal commission investigating anti-Semitism hears evidence about Victoria Police’s approach to monitoring online activity. Multiple outlets report that the force describes a new centralised command centre alongside a system that scans social media on a 24-hours-a-day basis. The evidence is presented as part of how Victoria Police monitors potential threats or incidents linked to hate-related activity.
The reporting focuses on operational details shared during the commission process, including how the centralised command structure is designed to coordinate responses and how social media scanning is carried out continuously. The articles do not indicate that the commission has reached any conclusions about the effectiveness or necessity of the practice; rather, they describe what the police told the inquiry.
Overall, the coverage reflects a consistent account: the commission receives information from Victoria Police about a command centre and around-the-clock social media monitoring as part of its anti-hate and public safety activities.
