Howdy fellas, It's unfortunate that it's come to this, but I understand you have laws you must uphold. While I don't agree with them, New Zealand is allowed to govern its citizens as it sees fit just as the United States is and I respect your sovereignty. If you must block my file hosting service at https://pomf.lain.la (also https://pomf2.lain.la) in New Zealand to comply with your laws, then do what you have to do. I will not geo-restrict anything on my end as I will not be the one to pull that trigger on your behalf. It is obvious that I do not condone the actions taken in the material in question, but I must also preserve my neutrality and beliefs on the subject that information deserves to be free and that it is up to the viewer to pass judgement, not a government. If you are curious, my position on the moderation of terrorist content can be found in my blog post here: https://infrablog.lain.la/tcap-article. I believe I take a fair and neutral stance, although it would appear to be too permissive for your legal frameworks. Some day, I hope your citizens will amend your laws to treat archival material such as what is reported here more like the US treats materials regarding 9/11 - as raw insight into a formative event for a nation grappling with the plague of terrorism, and a reminder of the collective mourning and national unity your people showed in the face of evil, instead of as a black mark on the face of New Zealand to sweep under the carpet and censor, pretending it never happened. -7666 Lain.la ================================================================================================== On Thursday, April 25th, 2024 at 9:07 PM, DVE Investigators wrote: Dear Lain.la.
