Consultations are being held on how to make online spaces safer.
The Department of Internal Affairs wants to make social media subject to regulation similar to traditional media platforms.
It aims to make it less common for people to see harmful and illegal content.
Free Speech Union CEO Jonathan Ayling told Jack Tame that he doesn't believe the DIA has made a good enough case on why this is needed.
