Full headline:

TECH TITAN TAKEDOWN Facebook, Twitter and YouTube execs face jail and multi-billion pound fines over terror videos

SOCIAL media giant executives could be jailed and their companies fined billions of pounds if they fail to quickly take down violent and terror-related content.

Australia could become the first country to introduce prison terms and fines if firms fail to speedily remove terror videos like the Christchurch massacre live-stream.

I am an adult, and fully capable of deciding which content I want to watch or ignore.

911 was a violent terrorism. Should we take those videos down so that people can’t analyze them and find flaws in the narrative?

Erasing history is a symptom of an unhealthy government.

The more you control others, the less effort they make in controling themselves.

Wow. So Australia wants to criminalize news reports of violence. Sad. What will Australia do? Issue international arrest warrants for Facebook executives?

I wouldn’t have expected such neo-fascist, censoring behavior from Australia. But two can play at that game. We should criminalize the saying of “G’day, mate”. It’s just not proper English, and could lead our kids astray! Any Aussie saying that should be threatened with prison terms and fines.

“quickly”... what a nice vague term that can be stretched conveniently at any time. What an awful idea.

So they sat back for a decade while ISIS was distributing beheading videos through social media, and now that a mosque is attacked, they suddently want to censor the public from viewing the crime scene.

These cover ups makes it even more recognizable it was a false flag.

I saw that one & watched it over & over. WTF? Is it actually from that attack? I know many in N.Z. are loony leftists but would they actually go so far as to perpetuate a fraud like that to the world, just to get rid of guns?

I’m no fan of Twitter, Facebook or Google’s management of You Tube...

But I say they should just block all Australian (and New Zealand) (and europe if they get ‘uppity’) I.P.s from accessing their sites, close down any brick & mortar sites in those countries, fire or transfer any ‘indigenous’ personnel, and tell the thug bastards to go pound sand.

It is indeed Lindwood Mosque. On Google maps street view, you can see the wooden fence out the window...

Has Google scrubbed this? It is no longer available for me!

Apparently if you don’t post about violence it ceases to exist.

Ahhhhhh. Found it again. Look out the windows of that mosque to see if it matches up here.

I would say no but for he fact they are still pushing the global warming hoax at all costs. Only their pet investments matter, they care not what it costs others or how thick they have to lay on the lives to keep it going.

Look how much they are willing to destroy and disrupt the US just to perpetuate the Russian collusion hoax. Power, not liberty, is everything to them. Used to be, so-called liberals considered te 1st amendment sacred. No longer. Expanding their control and power is everything, and the 1st and 2nd amendments are a threat to the expansion of their power.

I don’t think this was hoaxed as in fake blood, but that they want control of the narrative after a real massacre. Yes, people can see whatever they want to see in videos and twist them for their own agendas, but so can government. Should we not have published NASA videos of the moon landings for fear flat earthers would question them and claim they were fake? No.
The problem is that in an age of admittedly staged hate crimes being unquestionably accepted as real by a closed-minded one party increasingly international media that refuses to honestly report anything contrary to their political views… there is no 4th estate to guard against government officials covering up truth because government and media have become fused together at the hip.

If they don’t like what they see when they use the internet to look into other countries they should just disconnect their internet or block the domains.

This is like peeping over your neighbors fence, not liking what you see and asking them to stop.

“Platforms anywhere in the world must notify the Australian Federal Police...”

Sounds like Australia is in charge of the Interwebz...
