Gov. Kathy Hochul outlines steps New York will take to combat threats of violence and radicalization

NEW YORK -- With officials concerned about New York facing looming threats of violence, Gov. Kathy Hochul on Tuesday morning announced new steps she'll be taking to beef up security and deal with online threats and radicalization.

The governor outlined several initiatives to stop hate speech online from becoming hate crimes in the state.

Included in the plan is $3 million to ensure every college campus has a threat assessment and management team on site to identify threats, targeted ads offering help for parents to identify if their child is involved in hate speech online, and media literacy tools for all public school students to make them smarter about identifying misinformation online.
