Social media's impact on the Bondi massacre
Update: 2025-12-17
Description
The Bondi massacre didn't happen in a vacuum; social media is radicalising, incubating and amplifying intolerance and hate and needs to be regulated like drugs and alcohol, according to an expert in collective behaviour from Auckland University's School of Psychology. Fifteen people were killed in the mass shooting at a Jewish Hannukah celebration at the Sydney Beach at the weekend. In the aftermath fake social media posts and misinformation around the Bondi shooting have been all over the internet. Honorary senior lecturer at Auckland University's School of Psychology, Robert Bartholomew spoke to Lisa Owen.
