Australia is set to apply more pressure to technology companies broadcasting extreme violence and child pornography after the latest US gun massacres.
American authorities have cited a manifesto posted online and attributed to suspect Patrick Crusius, 21, as evidence the bloodshed in El Paso, Texas was racially motivated.
The four-page statement posted on online message board 8chan, which is often used by extremists, called the attack "a response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas".
Mr Dutton believes companies must do more to get hateful content pulled off the internet.
"They are making a lot of money and they are involved in spreading these hate messages and we need to stop it," he told Seven's Sunrise on Tuesday.
Mr Dutton said many online media companies were operating out of Russia or other countries where the rule of law does not apply in the same way as western democracies.
"If people in Australia can access that evil content, we want to make sure we can pull it down," he said.
