New Zealand blocking

New Zealand ISPs took a similar approach. 'The country's main Internet service providers, Spark, Vodafone, Vocus and 2degrees, are blocking any website which has footage of the Friday 15 March Christchurch mosque shootings,' CIO New Zealand wrote on Sunday.

The ISPs 'agreed to work together to identify and block access at [the] DNS level to such online locations,' such as 4chan and 8chan, according to a Bleeping Computer article on Saturday.

'This is an unprecedented move by the telecommunications industry, but one that they all agree is necessary,' New Zealand Telecommunications Forum Chief Executive Geoff Thorn said, according to CIO. 'The industry is working together to ensure this harmful content can't be viewed by New Zealanders.'

Thorn acknowledged that 'there is the risk that some sites that have legitimate content could have been mistakenly blacklisted, but this will be rectified as soon as possible.'

The white nationalist terrorist attacked during Friday prayer at the Al Noor Mosque and the Linwood Islamic Centre in Christchurch, New Zealand, and killed 50 people while injuring 50 more. The gunman live-streamed 17 minutes of the attack.

New Zealand authorities have been arresting people who share video of the shooting. As we noted in our coverage of the arrests, New Zealand and most other countries don't have free speech protections as extensive as those found in the US.

Australia and New Zealand also do not have net neutrality rules that prevent ISPs from blocking websites. In the US, net neutrality rules were taken off the books last year. Even when US rules were in place, the ban on blocking only applied to lawful Internet content, and the rules also did not apply when ISPs had to cooperate with law enforcement, public safety, or national security authorities.
