Growing the Call Community

12 April 2024

The Christchurch Call Community welcomes the online service provider Seznam and software company Cinder.

Seznam is a leading Czech online service provider founded in 1996. It has 6.5 million users a month across its search, news, marketplace and entertainment functions. Seznam is joining the Call as a supporter.

“As we were in the process of joining the Christchurch Call, the tragic mass shooting at Charles University in Prague deeply shocked millions,” says Matěj Hušek, Member of the Board of Directors, Seznam.cz. 

“As Czechia’s leading digital platform, we responded with full responsibility, upholding our pledge to combat disinformation, hate speech, and illegal content. The menace of violent extremism has, regrettably, become a stark reality for Czechs. At Seznam.cz, we are committed to taking all necessary actions to curb its proliferation.”

Cinder exists to help organizations foster safer online spaces for everyone. Its platform is designed to empower enterprises and organizations with end-to-end capabilities to mitigate harms, investigate malicious actors, and produce trustworthy and reliable output.

“Cinder is honoured to partner with the Christchurch Call in its mission to help platforms eliminate terrorist and violent extremist content online,” says Glen Wise, CEO and Co-founder.

“We’re steadfast in our commitment to make the internet a safer place for everyone. Every organization should have the tools to mitigate new threats and harmful content, regardless of scale. And now more than ever, at the dawn of generative AI we must be prepared to respond rapidly.”
