Technology can be a powerful force for good. The CEOs of Vodafone NZ, Spark and 2degrees, three of New Zealand's biggest broadband providers, have signed an open letter to their counterparts at Facebook, Google and Twitter, calling for "urgent discussion" at industry and government level about harmful content. In the letter, which was released on Thursday, they said Facebook had failed in its responsibility as a platform provider by allowing content that promoted violence against women, racism or terrorism.
