Andre Oboler, a Melbourne law lecturer and global expert on the problems caused by online hate speech, is to present a public seminar at Griffith University in Queensland.
Oboler, a La Trobe University academic, is chief executive of the Online Hate Prevention Institute, an independent think tank that was set up in 2012 to address anti-Semitism in social media and internet forums.
In a Griffith statement announcing details of the seminar, Oboler said that governments and technology companies were beginning to take “online extremism” more seriously.
