The New Zealand censorship laws work in such a way the board responsible for censoring videos of shootings are also responsible for censoring child pornography. This agent probably works predominantly with online predators but in this instance his job requires him to deal with the video of the shooting.

I wouldn't be surprised if this guy is their Internet guy in general, and told them this wasn't going to work, then got told to do it anyway. That said, really, "fuck off" is about the only response that makes sense under the circumstances.
 
Yeah, I can see that. But even if we were an NZ forum, and we all were NZ citizens, basing something only on IP and emails isn't the most effective move. Also, some people (specially the ones in the police force) think IPs are the ultimate answer and can't be faked with vpns and shit. So, what would they do if they picked a user who has an IP from Sierra Leone for example? The guy could be a literal kiwi shitting all over the NZ police force's garden but with a vpn, and I bet my ass that the kiwi police would be confused as hell.
These people aren't very bright when dealing with the internet, imho
Throw a wide net and catch as much as possible. Even if they don't get everyone, they might get enough to discourage others.
I'm not saying it's perfect, but I understand what they're trying to do, even if it's flawed.
Personally I think trying to blank this out now is a nigh-impossible task. It's futile.

Not exactly a step up from searching out CP.

I don't think there could have been a better reply.

"No, Sir. I do not expect that a more strongly-worded request will do the trick in this case. Have you heard of Florida? The hell-hole with Miami in it? Yes, sir, that's exactly the one."

Especially when people are sharing it on instant messages apps, facebook and twitter. There's nothing they can do, and I kind of feel bad for them, I wouldn't be happy if the whole world was sharing a tragedy that happened in my country while I worked for the police force.
 
This is basically why I signed up, seeing that response to that goddamn faggot. What the hell with all this censorship unfolding over this event? Also, it's genuinely nice to see an admin with a backbone instead of bending over for law enforcements.
Americans don't realize how unique and unprecedented the first amendment is, sometimes. Other Anglosphere nations can, and will, remove or charge you for speech they don't like.
 
I legitimately wonder if many of these New Zealand thugs have in their head that a site called "Kiwifarms" has to be based in New Zealand or at least has some loyalty to their joke of a nation. Thank god for Burgerland where we're free from this bullshit and can shitpost to our hearts content.
 
1 - Glad I visit this through a vpn and TOR.

2 - Wrong answer to the problem

Fuck these guys. If there had been guards on the doors this shit never would have happened but people want to live in a fucking fantasy land where violence isn't just a breath away.

You won't even be able to get muskets in NZ by the end of the week.

Also, fuck Islam. It is a sham religion founded by a warmonger-child-rapist.
 
Is this whole thing about jury tampering in a mass murder case? I mean c'mon, they guy's going to get a maximum sentence anyway.

Sounds about right. All of their rulers, politicians, kings or whatever the fuck they have in New Zealand are freaking the fuck out and are pressing everyone in law enforcement to delete the internet.
 
One thing I find thought provoking is: whenever people in third world countries are affected by horrible things they are jumping at the opportunity to post the aftermath of what is going on. Dead bodies of children. Hurt children. One thing or another to shove in people's face how dark the world is and we need to do something about it.

Here we have a video of the entire thing happening and they are doing their damnedest to suppress everything about it except the aftermath. I get that it can be considered poor taste to spread this stuff around, but that doesn't mean it should be eradicated from the people that seek it out and voluntarily watch it.
 
The more I read posts on this site - the more passionate I feel about keeping videos and documents - out in the open. This is the only site that gives a shit about being open and honest. I do worry however, that big-tech, plus governments, plus those against this site - will come after you - and come after you hard.

Anyways, fuck censorship.
