Belligerent Freedom of Speech: One of the best things about the USA
Re: Belligerent Freedom of Speech: One of the best things about the USA

So now 4chan, 8chan, liveleak and zerohedge are all getting blocked by NZ and Australian telecom companies. Private businesses can do what they want but from my experience related to this instance, the New Zealand government is applying pressure to telecoms to get them to block these sites.
Really not understanding the problem in telling NZ LE off at this point.
I guess for me, I just think that this is just a smaller example of the overall problem where there is a lack of backbone shown by digital media firms and it seems to me that it is in the best interest of media to report on things like this. We don't benefit from a sanitized media.

I was really kind of shocked at how insanely uptight the NZ government was. I'd always assumed it was a more laid back annex of Australia, with sheep.

Re: Belligerent Freedom of Speech: One of the best things about the USA
I guess there's a difference between requesting and demanding. The police request things all the time when they can't legally demand that those things occur. There is no harm in asking.

Old enough to know better. Take your thugishness and bad manners someplace else. As one who believes that free speech is one of the solid tennants of the United States, I would have defended Kiwi Talks position on refusing to turn over info about users, etc. But Bullies like the both of you don’t deserve my time or attention. And thanks for finally forcing me to figure out how to block people on this board.FET-500 wrote:Way to be a moralfag.... How fucking old are you people?
Re: Belligerent Freedom of Speech: One of the best things about the USA
If you wonder why police have little or no respect for the general public, look at this response to what was perhaps an illegal, but still respectful request. Go ahead and keep telling LE to “fuck off”. See where that gets you.I think tone and using words like "faggot" speak less to his testicular fortitude than his willingness to tell LE trying to flex at him to fuck off, no?

I thought it all so hilarious, I wanted to share. The notion that a proponent of "free speech" is looking to block a poster that they disagree with, in a forum thread regarding freedom of speech AND said person being such a Luddite, was previously incapable is pretty good stuff.
It's a palpable amalgam of ignorance and hypocrisy that must be enjoyed for what it is worth -

Am I being a bit anal thinking if the authorities didn't draw attention to the site by announcing they are trying to shut it down, far fewer people would see the video?

That works for a lot of things... repeat them endlessly and nobody can calm down or forget about it... the flip side is that everybody runs to it like flies on shit as soon as it’s mentioned because humans are naturally curious things....Mike Oxlong wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 10:04 amAm I being a bit anal thinking if the authorities didn't draw attention to the site by announcing they are trying to shut it down, far fewer people would see the video?
