Amnesty International says it's entirely possible for New Zealand to take on big tech.
Several media companies, industry groups and other organisations have signed an Amnesty open letter, calling for a stronger crack down on digital platforms like TikTok and Facebook.
They're calling for an independent regulator to manage risks like fraud, extremist content, and misinformation.
