#2The mobile operator Jio does the same thing here in India. Any content that offends their conservative interests, is routinely blocked without any legal repurcussions.
If ISPs want to act as curators to content they just provide access to, then they should be held legally liable for illegal content. Else, just act as a dumb pipe and give up all responsibility.

#3The government of New Zealand’s entire response to the shooting incident, as well as the public’s cheering for it, is the most disturbing Orwellian thing I’ve ever seen. The level of authoritarian curbing of freedoms that has seemingly happened overnight at the stroke of a pen should seriously concern anyone who values constitutionally limited government. I’m all for the debate, but as an American it’s unimaginable to see such reactionary, arbitrary, far sweeping action taken by a supposed free country with almost no discussion or legal process.

#4There is free speech, and then there is sensible. In NZ we don't use the perpetrators name and we don't want you looking at his messages. Get over it!

Well, we could just turn the entire internet off, then the messages would surely be hidden.
Archive.is has a lot more than one page.

Do you realize how authoritarian you sound?

From the article: "Let’s be clear, each and every one of the blocked websites operates lawfully – that includes removing illegal material when requested."
So being 'sensible' means conceding censorship to corporations, without involving the legal system?

His name was Brenton Tarrant.
