So recently with what happened with christchurch the NZ authorities have been trying to get a hold of anyone on offbrand websites and gathering information. Rather than linking to a random article I can just go straight to the source. Joshua Moon recieved an email from a Detective and he gave him a response along the lines of "fuck you and your shithole country."
Link to original thread.

Good afternoon
I am hoping that you can help us with an investigation the New Zealand Police are working on.
On 15 March 2019 there was a shooting in New Zealand with multiple fatalities at two mosques in the city of Christchurch.
The alleged offender in this matter is a Brenton TARRANT.
At around the time of the shooting there were a number of posts and links posted on kiwifarms.net <http://kiwifarms.net> relating to the shooting and TARRANT
We would like to preserve any posts and technical data including IP addresses, email addresses etc linked to these posts pending a formal legal request .
Could you please advise what legal process you require for this request and also confirm preservation of the data requested pending legal process.
Kind regards
John

_Detective Senior Sergeant*Is this a joke? I'm not turning over information about my users. The person responsible for posting the video and manifesto PDF is myself.
I feel real bad for you guys, you've got a quiet nation and now this attack is going to be the first thing people think of for the next 10 years when they hear the name New Zealand, but you can't do this. Tell your superiors they're going to make the entire country and its government look like clowns by trying to censor the Internet. You're a small, irrelevant island nation barely more recognizable than any other nameless pacific sovereignty. You do not have the clout to eradicate a video from the Internet and you do not have the legal reach to imprison everyone whose posted it. If anyone turns over to you the information they're asking for they're not only cowards, but they're fucking idiots.

If you're wondering, no. Kiwi Farms has nothing to do with New Zealand. Our name is a pointed jab at some of the mushmouthed autistic people we make fun of. Absolutely nothing about our community is NZ oriented.
And I don't give a single solitary fuck what section 50 of your faggot law say about sharing your email. Fuck you and fuck your shithole country.
- JoshI have no doubt that the NZ police want the emails and IPs of people on the site so they can arrest anyone in NZ that has an account or has even visited kiwifarms. Because they have most likely downloaded the video and the manifesto from it and taken information from the dedicated thread. They have a thread dedicated to the shooting like they do for a lot of large events like this. And individuals that draw interest. And it has ALL of the information. Which includes a pdf of the manifesto as well as a direct download of the video itself.Hi Josh
Appreciate your quick response.
Will definitely consider what you have said.
Regards

Do you think that Moon is in the right? That he should keep his users information private? Or should he hand over all the information on his website?
