For anyone saying the response should have been more measured: fuck no. It needed to be publicized that the NZ government is trying to censor people outside of its jurisdictional reach. This is just as much news as the shooting itself was.

Did NZ Police suddenly get told by their government on Friday to shut it all down ASAP or was this a plan which was previously developed by multiple agencies some time ago?

It's definitely a sudden thing. I was driving to work this morning (I live in the land of the forbidden video) and heard on the radio a "public announcement" that the ISP's were working together to block any website containing the video. They had a quote from a telecommunications industry spokesman who said this was "unprecedented". The radio announcement almost sounded like they were proud to be doing it too, it was rather creepy to hear something like that in what's supposed to be a free country. Which leads me to believe this is just something that was hastily decided by the government and police. The ISP's are acting like they decided to do this themselves but I would be almost certain the government told them to do it.

They haven't blocked Twitter yet, and unlike Facebook and Youtube it is still very easy to find clips on Twitter that show parts of the shooting. One of the reasons ISP's shouldn't have the authority to do this is because they won't apply the ban fairly and we have already seen that they dont. So they are chilling some speech/content on smaller websites but allowing the same stuff on Twitter simply because it's Twitter.
 
I hope the name you are using for your profile is something you really don't like and not yours. Using own name on this forum of all the places is seriously unhealthy.
Well, I like the name Jeremy, and anyone in his right mind knows who Galt is.....?
However, thanks for the advice.....currently posting from Brazil....
 
I suppose that's true. Speaking of balls, did you know that NZ is blaming the US for our supposed role in the shooting? (Archive)

Rasmussen said concerns about violating Americans' privacy should not be a permanent obstacle to increasing collaboration among the Five Eyes countries.
"We may need to address this constraint, much as we over the years became more comfortable sharing such information on US persons who were the subjects of international terrorism concern," he said.
"We probably don't know what we don't know in terms of some of these international connections" among domestic groups, Rasmussen added. "And we won't know until we share more information with our trusted partners in order to see what they know."
i would argue that america doesnt share any info about our domestic terrorist groups simply so other countries cant use them as pawns to attack within our borders
why would we willingly tell other countries which individuals are most likely to be incited to violence?

i dont see why NZ seems to want to pin this on america, as far as we know he's never even entered the country
is it because we have the 1st amendment? or is it because he briefly talks about trump?
 
I'm legit psyched for this. It's like a clown world comic book crossover.

So, one thing I'm not sure we've checked for yet, how many lolcows are shitting on us for not cucking to the NZ authorities?

Sure, we're just one of the loud and proud holdouts to global censorship campaign based on the most bullshit premise ever, but there have to be some lolcows who will a-log our asses over not taking Kiwi (the country) cop dick up our asses.
 
I saw the letter, and I'm gonna get hated for saying this.....I cringed when I saw Nick Monroe's response.
Like, the New Zealand letter was polite, ASKING him if he could hand over information. All he had to do was say no, which he did.

However, Nick sperging out by calling them faggots probably made the situation worse, and his agressive tone makes him look suspicious.

Nick's response easily could have turned him into a lolcow if not for the current situation.

EDIT: He already is, didn't know lol
EDIT: Not Nick, but Josh aka Null
Calling the feckless cronies of an authoritatian government that have no power to threaten Null and no leverage to get him to turn over the records of innocent users do, indeed, deserve to be called faggots along with the tiny powerless island of New Zealand, as well as you. You fucking faggot.
 
I was so glad to see that someone wasn't shitting their pants to kowtow to that shithole dinky ass island. It was very encouraging. Thanks so much

It is ridiculous that they have tried to scrub the earth of the video. They wholly underestimate the power of freedom and what it really means

I've seen surprisingly few of our lolcows even mention the attack, let alone our hosting the video and noping NZ Police. I guess that just proves that things which don't revolve around them don't concern them.

Do you guys still have coronial inquests over there? If so, that's where the information will come out - even though it won't happen for a few years.

I really don't think this was something initiated by the police. My money is on the government deciding it and then telling the police to make it happen. The speed with which the censor officially declared the video objectionable suggests that the government knew they were on dodgy ground. They probably didn't even consult their AG and justices - the timeline was far to rapid for in-depth legal opinions to have been given.

EDIT: This comment was a terrible idea.
His aggressive tone reminds them to fuck off. They are NZ they don't have jurisdiction to do shit so why play games with a friendly back and forth when you can just show off your full autism?
 

"Joshua Conner Moon, operator of Kiwi Farms, referred to Aotearoa as a "shithole country" with "f****t law" in an email he says he sent to a Detective Senior Sergeant. "

That's ooperator to you hobbits.
