Hate Speech with Dr Kevin Veale
We asked Dr Kevin Veale from Massey University to come in and talk to us about hate speech and online harassment. At the Classification Office we often look at and classify social media content. The kind of content that comes through our door tends to be violence, sexual exploitation, hate speech, dangerous speech or a combination of all of these elements. Social media platforms make it easy to post hateful content without thinking about the consequences. Remember if you see something you know is out of line report it. If you are experiencing online harassment or abuse check out the below links for support.

Good Boys Podcast
Here at the OFLC we try to engage with young people as much as possible, especially when considering decisions that directly affect them. Recently we invited some members of our Youth Advisory Panel to join the classification assessment of the film Good Boys. The comedy features young teenagers swearing copiously, and contains sexual humour. Although the film sounds confronting the sexual content is balanced by the film’s positive messages around consent, friendship and responsibility. In this podcast we talk to Emma and Julian, two members from the panel who joined us during the classification process, and they share their experience and thoughts on the process and decision. We also ask Shiyi, a Classification Advisor here, about their involvement with the decision. Check out our featured classification decision!

Loot Box Podcast
In our office we talk to young people a lot about how we classify films and other content like games. We are often asked about loot boxes and how we classify them. It’s tricky because in New Zealand loot boxes don’t constitute gambling. In this podcast we ask Callan, a 14 year old gamer from Onslow College, what are loot boxes are and how young people perceive them. We also ask Shiyi, a Classification Advisor, what the harms of loot boxes are and how they are similar to gambling. Please see our website for more information and further updates about loot boxes in our blogs.
