sebthedevon ISPs in AU and NZ start censoring the internet without legal precedent

Which aspects of the New Zealand government's response do you object to?

Off the top of my head, the government has: used the existing regulatory system to temporarily halt sales of the sort weapons used in the terrorist attack; introduced legislation into parliament to permanently halt sales of the sort of weapons used in the attack, which will proceed through the regular legislative process; announced plans to investigate how the attack was not prevented by security services; and facilitated memorial services for victims.

Those websites were distributing material that was illegal under New Zealand law (content relating to the recent terrorist attack).

Any person in New Zealand who possesses objectionable content is liable for imprisonment for up to 10 years. Distributing the objectionable content can result in imprisonment for up to 14 years.

The ISPs were simply declining to distribute or possess the objectionable content (which would have be illegal for them to distribute or possess).
