Just to expand on this a little bit, it is contingent on ISP and as far as I know, the following websites: - voat.co - 4chan.org - 8ch.net - liveleak.com - archive.is - bitchute.com - zerohedge.com - kiwifarms.net I think I'm right in saying that Telstra, Optus and Vodafone are the 'Big Three', and they have blocked the above. Here in NZ, It's Vodafone, Spark and 2 Degrees, all of whom, I understand, blocked access, though I've been unable to verify this first-hand. There are also hefty prison sentences [0] (up to 14 years) and fines for people who read/distributed the manifesto and watched/shared the original footage.

Wait, are you saying that watching the video is considered a crime in and of itself? Not redistribution, and not even mere possession, but just seeing it?

  Evidently you can't even read the manifesto (which involves possession of course. Dunno if you get in trouble for reading it over someone's shoulder). https://qz.com/1579660/new-zealands-manifesto-ban-explained-by-its-chief-censor/ https://qz.com/1579660/new-zealands-manifesto-ban-explained-... According to that article, having a copy is worth 10 years in the pokey.

    Well that makes me want to go read the damn thing. Good job NZ. This is why you get left off maps.

  Certainly, like child porn, watching snuff movies was already illegal in NZ before the alt-right terrorist attack, all the NZ censor did was confirm that the snuff movie fell under that category, it was essentially born illegal. No one passed any special new laws to make it so. It also falls under the US supreme court test for obscenity and is equally illegal in the US

    >It also falls under the US supreme court test for obscenity and is equally illegal in the US I don't think that's correct. There are no federal obscenity laws. The U.S. government does not expressly prohibit obscene conduct. In fact, the U.S. government expressly protects some communications in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. https://legalcareerpath.com/obscenity-law/ https://legalcareerpath.com/obscenity-law/

      18 USC 71 ... is the federal obscenity law, it's been much patched in and around child porn, but the basic law is still there. Of course there's been a lot of Supreme Court rulings in and around it culminating in the Miller test ... Your 'shooting video' is really a snuff film, probably one of the few genuine ones (along with those made by ISIS, and just as bad) and certainly falls under the Miller test

        I mean, /r/watchpeopledie was active for nearly a decade and never had legal issues.. I'm not sure this is enforced in any meaningful way.
        Taniwha 7y ago
        That doesn't make it legal, or even morally right - people who want to watch this shit are sick fuckers
Rapzid 7y ago
Hah, good luck enforcing that. Besides, most people that wanted to already saw the video and read the manifesto because they had proxies setup to get access to US video streaming catalogs.

zerohedge.com is not blocked on telstra (Australian) network as of yesterday (when I last visited). Don't know about the other sites.
