Pretty soon it will be available everywhere. How many sites will they block?

Soon drugs will be everywhere so why stop these two drug dealers? how many drug dealers will they arrest?

I’m wondering if the NZ government have a belief that maybe the shooter’s ability to livestream the shooting increased his desire to commit the shooting in the first place.

We're kind of figuring out that doesn't work either.

Selling drugs should be legal though, so I'm not sure what you're saying.

Alternatively, I feel like seeing the plain video without commentary would take away a lot of the glamor from these events. See the mood change of Black Mirror ep01 after he actually fucks the pig.

(from a USian perspective) Instead, we let the media setup a vibrant tradeoff of emotional tourism versus steering away from direct confrontation. Just enough so that indulging can be written off as mourning rather than the goreporn it is.

I’m honestly wondering what will happen when that kind of content starts spreading on less centralized networks, such as scuttlebutt, or on IPFS, via Mastodon instances, or others. Things can become bad for decentralization advocates if 4chan trolls start to use those networks to share and protect such content from being blocked by governments.

Replace “drug dealers” with “armed robbers” and you’ll avoid thn inevitable moralizing and nitpicking.
