Kiwi Farms under fire. Owner won't co-operate with NZ authorities.

I mean they weren't trying to censor anything, they just wanted the information on who shared it. probably to check if any New Zealanders shared it, they couldn't really do anything about people overseas sharing it.

Given the jackbooted approach of NZPol, given their willingness to censor websites that do NOT have that video out of pure spite for daring to criticise them, I am not optimistic.

I know this is a crass concept, but contrary to the U.S., in most civilized countries, the police doesn't act as judge and executioner. So even if the police is "jackbooted", they don't sentence. I know it's a weird concept, but most of the world runs with it.

That was unnecessarily rude of him.

I'm guessing he's pandering to the kind of mush-brains that visit his site and think it's funny or somehow deserved.

I know for a fact that at least two websites have been blocked by NZ AND Aust that DO NOT and never have had that video up. Why were they banned?

They criticised the NZ authorities.

That is the ONLY reason they are blocked. One is text based only and doesnt have ANY videos. I also note that the NZ ISPs refuse to say who has been blocked, and why, and when, if ever they will be unblocked.

The owner of one of those websites stated on Twitter
