The Royal Commission on Anti-Semitism and Social Cohesion is moving to a new phase of evidence, with the next group of witnesses focusing on the spread of online hate speech. Across the reports, the emphasis is on how large technology companies and media platforms are involved in the dissemination of harmful content, and what responsibilities these platforms may have in managing it.
The coverage describes this upcoming witness block as part of the commission’s ongoing examination of anti-Semitism and related social cohesion concerns. The sources consistently frame the topic as online hate speech, rather than physical-world incidents, indicating a shift toward digital pathways through which hateful messages reach wider audiences.
While the articles do not provide further details about specific organisations or individuals, they all point to the same core subject for the hearings: the role of “big tech” and the media ecosystem in relation to online hate speech. The reports therefore align on both the timing (an upcoming witness block) and the key focus area (digital hate speech and its amplification).
