Censorship and the Mosque Shooting

@Rembrandt said in Censorship and the Mosque Shooting:
So you can be prosecuted for something that wasn't a crime when you did it. Am I reading that right?
It means a snuff film/kiddie porn/torture/pro terrorism films can be considered illegal even if the government has got around to classifying the specific video yet.
It's a crime immediately, not after the fact

@Duluth @Rembrandt from my perspective there's the precedent setting around the live stream nature of this content. Did we know 100% it was real, or exactly what was going on when clicking in. Were people aware that this sort of thing would end up illegal when previously you could reach mainstream sites (reddit, youtube) that show some pretty grim stuff, some of which would be classed as (non-NZ related) terrorism etc.
There were some comments in that article about people being aghast at colleagues 'watching it on the job' - where does that sit versus watching at lunch or anyone using company internet to watch anything non-work related?
Have to admit I am nervous, but my boss wasn't worried in the slightest when we spoke about it.

Really you guys? No offense but this is entirely predictable and will only get worse in the years to come. The fact you are shocked just shows you really havent believed those of us warning about increased censorship.

To lighten the mood
You can still buy Mein Kampf from Whitcoulls.... -
And the left and reasonable aren't entirely mutually exclusive. Although I fully agree a massive proportion have absolutely gone off their collective rockers. Don't lets start losing that nuance we are trying to retain in all of this stuff.

Got to admit I'm pretty aware of the potential censorship consequences but this Peterson ban has me rattled. This isn't just idiocy. It's dangerous. Want to ensure more terrorist attacks? Just follow this blueprint.

It's some amazing advertising for the book.
I tried reading a borrowed copy of the book about six months ago and put it down after the first chapter. It bored me to tears. However, I just purchased a copy from Unity books to put back on the bedside table. Thought $40 was a bit steep but it's worth it.

@Paekakboyz any headlines that say Peterson book banned in nz after shooting will be processed by tens of millions of people.
Therefore NZ equals hobbit and book banning. Please understand how little significance nz has in the world
It's as stupid as the idea of not saying tarrants name. Fucken ridiculous, as stupid as saying the n word, which makes everyone think of the word.
Secondary issues for an incident involving one man for a duration of 30 minutes.
Half an hour of cuntery by one guy and we have to fawn about and change and censor and hide everything. Fucken infantile!
Edit, sorry Paekok, didn't aim my rant at you, I'm just sick of the nannying around this week. I swear there are moments behind closed doors where politicians and media execs Express their glee that this came along in their time in charge

Good on ya. Maybe worth trying the audiobook. He's got a very engaging voice. Can be difficult in text some of what he talks about. I've talked to so many people now that have pulled themselves back fron the brink because of his message, the way I see it the more people that know it and can pass it on the better chance society has.

[edit - moved from another thread]
Can somebody confirm...?
Reading online that Petersen’s “12 Rules” book has been removed from all Whitcoull’s because of the Christchurch massacre.
Seriously,can anybody confirm, or is this just a pathetic joke?
-
EDit: Update: I just saw on the other thread that it is indeed true. Utterly pathetic overreaction. This is mind-manipulation.
